>Description:
Libncurses recently(?) gained a dependency on libtinfo.  For dynamically linked
ncurses consumers this poses no problem, but does for static linking.

This can be solved automatically by pkgconf, which should list both -lncurses
and -ltinfo in "pkg-config --static --libs ncurses".

>How-To-Repeat:
% pkg-config --static --libs ncurses
Package ncurses was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `ncurses.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
