Building with -DDEBUG gives:

Python seems to crash when using the Tru64 curses library. It works fine
with the OpenPKG ncurses library though. Might be related to the fact that
configure doesn't find a useable ncurses.h, but for some reason the link is
done with '-L/cw/lib -lncurses' ?!
Anyway I tried building with the ncurses library included and then it
doesn't segfault.
Adding the following to the %build makes it find the ncurses header:
CPPFLAGS="-D_REENTRANT -I%{l_prefix}/include
-I%{l_prefix}/include/ncurses"
(The -D_REENTRANT is needed on Tru64 for the pthread.h header check). You
need to use CPPFLAGS as the configure script uses cpp to check for the
header.
