Try w/ MAKEOPTS="-j1"

No difference whatsoever. It fails in exactly same way. Previously I commented
MAKEOPTS out in make.conf, now I enabled it again with -j1.

Output of 'emerge -pv ncurses' please.

I had a theory (lazy to verify) that slang doesn't use headers, or link against
ncurses, but it needs the terminfo files it installs into /usr/share/terminfo.

but ncurses doesn't install these if it was built with USE minimal.

which would mean we need a built_with_use check in pkg_setup, ..

but when I tried to reproduce this it built OK, weird..

Also need output of "ncurses5-config --terminfo", preferably before and after
changing USE minimal on and off for ncurses ..

I cleared manually all the cruft from /var/tmp/portage, just in case.

# emerge -pv ncurses
[ebuild   R   ] sys-libs/ncurses-5.6-r2  USE="minimal unicode -bootstrap -build
-debug -doc -gpm -nocxx -profile -trace" 0 kB 

# ncurses5-config --terminfo
/usr/share/terminfo

# USE="-mimimal" emerge -av1 ncurses

# ncurses5-config --terminfo
/usr/share/terminfo

# emerge -av1 slang
[ebuild  N    ] sys-libs/slang-2.1.3-r1  USE="-cjk -pcre -png" 0 kB

Success!!! Thank you, Vielen Dank, Kiitos!

I can reproduce it, I built ncurses with minimal again and slang build fails
truthfully. :)

and I believe you both so I've added a check in the ebuild to prevent this from
happening..
