i tried building with this command sequence:
--
wget -c "ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses-5.6.tar.gz";
wget -c "ftp://invisible-island.net/dialog/dialog.tar.gz";
tar xzf ncurses-5.6.tar.gz
tar xzf dialog.tar.gz
mkdir ncurses_build
mkdir dialog_build

export CC="gcc -static"

#building NCURSES
cd ncurses_build/

../ncurses-5.6/configure --with-trace --without-gpm --with-debug \
                         --without-dlsym --enable-warnings       \
                         --with-debug
make

#building DIALOG
cd ../dialog_build

#in this package the tracing option is active by default
../dialog-1.1-20070409/configure --with-warnings

#edit LIBS value on makefile
# -> -L/home/vinx/test/ncurses_build/lib/ -lncurses -lm -L/lib

make
--

i have lauced this command:
--
export NCURSES_TRACE=0xffff
./dialog --trace /home/vinx/output.log --msgbox "Hello World" 6 20
--
and in the output file i have only dumped key pressed... in this example:
--
$ cat /home/vinx/output.log
** Wed May  9 17:02:34 2007
chr DLGK_ENTER (ch=0x219, fkey=537)
$
--

If i compile dialog without -static gcc's option, but with same LIBS
variable in makefile it works.

I understand that this problem coming up only on a distro with 64 bit
libc6 libraries... i tried on an amd64 with an ubuntu at 32bit and it
works.
