>Description:

libncurses.a of the base system contains objects from libtinfo.a
(actually libtinfo.a is a symbolic link to libncurses.a), but 
libncurses.a from devel/ncurses doesn't contain these objects.
So, to link ncurses, I need to explicitly add -ltinfo in addition 
to -lncurses.

For example, editors/emacs-devel won't build when devel/ncurses is
installed because it doesn't check if -ltinfo is needed.
Maybe there are other ports like this.  Such incompatibility between
base vs port ncurses is not convenient.

	
>How-To-Repeat:

1. Install devel/ncurses
2. Build editor/emacs-devel

>Fix:

For compatibility with base ncurses, --with-termlib should be removed
from configure option (I'm not sure about other effects by doing that...).
