otool helps...

I'm using ncurses 6.1.20190525 at the moment.
But ncurses 6.1 has a difference - see below.

Actually it's simpler than that: in the misc directory, there's a script
"shlib", which can be used for ad hoc tests in the build-tree. In step 9,
I did
cd foo
shlib make foo
and then
NCURSES_TRACE=0x224 TERM=xterm-256color shlib ./foo
In my environment, I've more than one terminfo database, so I had to
also unset TERMINFO and TERMINFO_DIRS while configuring/making/testing.
There's an error seen with ncurses 6.1 - see attached testcolors1.zip
But it doesn't occur with current code (6.1 20190525) - testcolors2.zip
Since Ubuntu 16.04 doesn't _have_ ncurses 6.1, I suppose the proper
answer is that you might want to run with current code - see
