Description

The failure is:

[ncurses] awk -f ./tinfo/MKcodes.awk bigstrings=1 ./../include/Caps >codes.c
[ncurses] gcc -o make_hash -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../ncurses -I. -I./../include -I../include -DUSE_BUILD_CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../ncurses -I.   -D_DARWIN_C_SOURCE -DNDEBUG -I. -I../include -I/Users/certik/.hashdist/bld/ncurses/j2l3sbotpbza/include/ncurses -O2 --param max-inline-insns-single=1200  -no-cpp-precomp ./tinfo/make_hash.c -Wl,-search_paths_first

This patch fixes it:

It uses my own repository, where I applied some of the patches from upstream (which seems to only distribute a very old tarball and a set of patches). The problem is that this updated package then works with gcc, but fails with native clang... We need a set of source codes, that work with both compilers.
