Hello Thomas,
The results were the same - only reverse video for links, not bold.
I did try configure with that option, but the script appears not to honor it.
Also, as a diagnostic, I try configure --with-screen=FOO, and the resulting
files created are identical to those created --with-screen=ncurses
I tried wading through the configure script, but it's not very clear to me
what's happening. I have tentatively concluded that since configure believes
there is only an older version of ncurses, the --with-screen directives are
ignored altogether.

configure: warning: hmm... you should get an up-to-date version of ncurses
gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2/specs
gcc version 2.7.2
I have installed ncurses version 4.2, but am aparently unable to
build lynx using these new libraries.
(This is with both lynx-2.8.tar.gz and lynx2.8.1dev.13.tar.gz)
