I'm reporting this bug because the package in summary fails to build when forcing --as-needed on through spec files (check out http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2008/11/14/problems-and-mitigation-strategies-for-as-needed for details). Check the attached build log. Thanks, Diego

Created attachment 179504 [details, diff] Patch to Makefile to fix linking with --as-needed and to respect user LDFLAGS This failure is the typical problem of passing libraries using LDFLAGS instead of LDLIBS. The Makefile also overwrote user LDFLAGS with a fixed "-lncurses". This patch drops the assignment of LDFLAGS and moves the -lncurses to LDLIBS, so that libraries are referenced after the object files that need them.
Thanks Kevin, applied now!
