Now I have ncurses installed into cross-root.  Suppose I want to use
it from c-stubdom.  #include <ncurses/curses.h> works without any
further modification, but where should I put -lncurses?  The best I
could come up with is APP_LDLIBS in extras/mini-os/Makefile...

Seems good.

Works as advertised, thanks!

I'll stub this to always return B38400 and define those constants.  Do
you think it matters the least?

newlib-1.16.0/newlib/libc/include/sys/unistd.h defines _PC_VDISABLE.
It even has an fpathconf implementation in libc/sys/linux.  Is there a
way to get that work or had I better stub this one, too?

I stubbed this last one, and now I can compile the ncurses example at
http://www.captain.at/howto-curses-example.php as a c-stubdom; too bad
it does not work:

Error opening terminal: unknown.

Now let's try to hardwire the terminal type to xterm or similar...
