The current check for curses in the uCsim configure script does not work, if curses has dependencies on other libraries. In particular, the ncurses in gentoo depends on tinfo, but the current configure script does not add the necessary linker flags, so the uCsim build fails on gentoo.
I think a good way to fix this would be to use the AX_WITH_CURSES macro: it use pkg-config, if available, and otherwise falls back to other methods. That should result in the correct linker flags.
