It looks like ncurses library is not detected by autoconf with LDFLAGS=-Wl,--as-needed. I found the problem in a few libraries for example dev-haskell/terminfo: checking for ncurses.h... yes checking for setupterm in -lncursesw... no checking for setupterm in -lncurses... no checking for setupterm in -lcurses... no configure: error: in `/var/tmp/portage/dev-haskell/terminfo-0.3.2.5/work/termin$ o-0.3.2.5': configure: error: curses library not found, so this package cannot be built See `config.log' for more details Without LDFLAGS=-Wl,--as-needed: checking for ncurses.h... yes checking for setupterm in -lncursesw... yes configure: creating ./config.status It is present in at least binutils 2.23.1 and 2.23.51.0.8.

Two wrongs don't make a right (well, three sometimes do ;)). See bug 292416 for an example case against. > > > But in this particular case: any chance your ncurses is built with 'tinfo' > > useflag ? > > Yes, it is. I believe it is enabled by default. No, it's not. Anyway, as it seems to be a useflag problem, file against the packages, that fail.
