[NEW && PATCH] ncurses fails to build on AIX 5.2 (with libtool 1.5.14)

[ltg]

Hi,

I created a quick and dirty fix (because I do not have the time
to tear libtool apart in order to understand what it is exactly
doing) for this problem:

  ncurses fails to build on AIX 5.2 (with libtool 1.5.10)
    (see the bug report as of 15.03.2005 for details).

Here comes the patch (it's against ncurses-5.4.20050320):

After applying this pathch, the old bug went away,
only to be replaced by the following one:
