Comment(by nematoder):
An addition: the underlying cause is that I've got 2 ncurses installed:
one from ports and one from base. The ghc configure script finds the ports
version in /usr/local/ which doesn't work for whatever reason. By
supplying -L/usr/lib and -I/usr/include I told it to use ncurses lib in
base. A newer base might not have this problem (I've built ghc on a 9.0
current without problems). However, a configure flag to tell the build
which ncurses lib to use would be reasonable nevertheless.
