 	library dependencies for tic and other programs built with the tic
 	library.
 
+    --with-tparm-arg[=XXX]
+	Override the type used for tparm() arguments, which normally is a
+	"long".  However the function must assume that its arguments can hold a
+	pointer to char's which is not always workable for 64-bit platforms.  A
+	better choice would be intptr_t, which was not available at the time
+	tparm's interface was defined.
+
+	If the option is not given, this defaults to "long".
+
     --with-trace
 	Configure the trace() function as part of the all models of the ncurses
 	library.  Normally it is part of the debug (libncurses_g) library only.
