It didn't change anything. I'm attaching the script I used
based on your options. I retained all I use for Cygwin. While
I'm not sure all work, only --enable-nsl-fork failed at build
time. Anyway, they shouldn't make any difference for makeuctb.

I also tried removing -march=i586 -mcpu=i686 -O2 -pipe from
CFLAGS and -Wl,-s from LDFLAGS.

Does anyone run it on 486 ?

I also didn't need your PDCurses patch. I couldn't reproduce:

"The problem with the arrow keys under PDCurses is that when
NUMLOCK is on, the arrow keystrokes seem to be queued. If you
then turn off NUMLOCK and press an arrow key, all of the
previous keypresses will be executed, in addition to the
current one. I would appreciate any insight into this behavior.
When NUMLOCK is on, holding down an arrow key leads to
execution of multiple instances of the key after a delay of
about half a second, but it is difficult to control."

or just didn't understand it.

Also, why is -ltermcap added ? In my last build it picked
-lncurses instead. I thought it'd only add -lcurses.

I'm also attaching the resulting makeuctb.exe and the
differences against my makefile.
