ncurses is ugly because it uses its own private version of autoconf.  We
will have to patch a lot of (compiled) 'configure' scripts, or (which I
prefer) create a local wrapper script for $CC.

I wrote an upstream bug report ([1]), but it probably has to go through
moderation first and is not visible yet.
