The symbol is needed to make a followup check for the pthread library work, and would be set properly using the options "--with-screen", etc. + generate misc/*.pc with "all" rule, as done for "sources" rule (report by Jeffrey Walton).
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20160521 + improved manual page description of tset/reset versus window-size. + fixes to work with a slightly broken compiler configuration which cannot compile "Hello World!" without adding compiler options (report by Ola x Nilsson): + pass appropriate compiler options to the CF_PROG_CC_C_O macro. + when separating compiler and options in CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS, ensure that all options are split-off into CFLAGS or CPPFLAGS + restore some -I options removed in 20140726 because they appeared to be redundant. In fact, they are needed for a compiler that cannot combine -c and -o options.
