It because no stable enough ncurses version exists now to switch too,
all higher versions have bugs which prevent incorporation of them into
FreeBSD source tree. Ask address@hidden about details, he track
current ncurses bugs related to FreeBSD.

BTW, FreeBSD target itself have wrong flags and can't be compiled. Here is
some of FreeBSD-ports patches which allows real building of lynx
under FreeBSD, in short form 1) add NCURSESHEADER, 2) Remove -O,
there already is one (or higher) in default CFLAGS.
