>Description:
After Midnight Commander port has been updated to the version 4.7.4, it now fails to build due to linker error.

By a quick look, it appears that the configure script is not able to find SLANG library headers due to some change in the new m4 macros from version 4.7.4 compared to the old version 4.7.2, where everything worked fine.
