1*dbd550edSchristosThere are some known problems with Solaris curses.
2*dbd550edSchristosPlease give ncurses a try when you encounter a screen output problem.
3*dbd550edSchristos
4*dbd550edSchristosApparently, the more recent Solaris compilers invoke the incremental linker,
5*dbd550edSchristos`ild', when the "-g" option is used and one or more "xxx.o" files are
6*dbd550edSchristosspecified on the command line during the link phase.  Unfortunately, the
7*dbd550edSchristosexecutable produced is up to 3-4 times as big as an executable generated
8*dbd550edSchristosby the standard linker `ld'.
9*dbd550edSchristosYou can bypass this by adding "-xildoff" to LDFLAGS or by
10*dbd550edSchristossetting CFLAGS (to something that does not contain "-g").
