Did you get this working?  I've seen subsequent messages from you on the
list which seem to imply that you got it to compile.

You definitely managed to put the linker into chatty mode, which is nice.

>(ld): er full

That sort of looks like an error, but it may not be -- it's probably just
informational.

This is definitely an error.

You need to link against libcurses.a -- I'm fairly certain that's where tcdrain
is on AIX.

Also make sure that any curses.h/termios.h/termio.h in the gcc fixed headers
has a prototype for tcdrain that is enclosed in a

extern "C" {

...

}

block, so it's treated a C symbol by the C++ compiler.
