ncurses 5.6 bug report

[Dr Tomaž Slivnik]

1) From ./configure --help (ncurses 5.6):

------------------------------------------------------------
  --enable-signed-char    compile with SIGWINCH handler
  --enable-sigwinch       compile with SIGWINCH handler
------------------------------------------------------------
I do not believe the first line is correct.

2) ./configure fails when cross-compiling if ${BUILD_CC} == ${CC}. I  
note that on Mac OS X, when cross-compiling for a different  
architecture, this is precisely what I want, i.e. for BUILD_CC to be  
the same as CC.

I can get around this by setting CC=gcc BUILC_CC=cc (where both cc  
and gcc are links to the same file, in my case /usr/bin/gcc-4.0), but  
is this behaviour sensible? I can understand that you abort configure  
if BUILD_CC is undefined, but if the user over-rides it by expressly  
defining BUILD_CC to be the same as CC, configure should not abort.
