I checked the "ncurses" package in detail and there is actually
already some patching to get rid of full static building. I've
no clue why these patches do not work for you as I still see a
"-static" above in your output. Just to make sure: this is really
with the latest "ncurses" package from OpenPKG CURRENT, i.e.,
ncurses-5.6.20080713-20080713.src.rpm, right?
