(either due to "missing bits" or "failed to build"), neither with #12725,
nor without. So I still doubt that #12725 is a problem.

I've now rebuilt readline, ipython, pari as well, still without the
libncurses.a symlink.
./sage -gp works fine (and shows realine 6.2 is enabled), and sage command
line still broken.
