Yes, I have run into it before with XPoint I think it was. XPoint didn't like my slackware but it might like gentoo better. There was/is some kind of workaround for that but I forget what it is.

There is a new LFS book out a few months ago. I've been reading it and pondering converting the BBS machine to LFS. I bet golded would run fine on that.

Gentoo builds ncurses with a "tinfo" use flag. That is not a generally used flag and I am not sure if I can or should disable it.
