Patch fixing the SIGBUS error on startup

gtypist crashes with SIGBUS on startup. gdb says that the crash happens inside the call to ncurses initscr()


strace suggested that tinfo was involved and a google search revealed this related bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=651552

The solution proposed there suggests to link to tinfow rather than tinfo; the attached patch does exactly that and fixes the issue on my box
