But I assume you will > get the same result using any distro with gold. No, I meant a distro where ncurses is built with --with-termlib. On my Debian stable (squeeze), libtinfo does not exist at all, so I can not test linking against it: $ apt-file search libtinfo (zilch) But I'll see at installing a Gentoo (if that's not too complex) in a VM to do the checks (can you confirm that Gentoo by default configures ncurses with --with-termlib ?).
