Well, It seems that -static is somehow hard-coded in ncurses-5.7.
In ./configure we can see starting at line 16481:

  if test "$GCC" = yes ; then
          case $cf_cv_system_name in #(
          OS/2*|os2*|aix[45]*)    #( vi
                  LDFLAGS_STATIC=
                  LDFLAGS_SHARED=
                  ;;
      *)  #( normally, except when broken
          LDFLAGS_STATIC=-static
          LDFLAGS_SHARED=-dynamic
          ;;
      esac
  else
    [--SNIP--]

Here, GCC is set to yes because we are using GNU gcc, and $cf_cv_system_name
is neither OS/2 nor AIX, so we end up in the default case. LDFLAGS_STATIC is
not set later, so it is set to "-static"

Then, in progs/Makefile.in, line 112 (all on one line, split here for
readability:

  LIBS_TIC = @LDFLAGS_STATIC@ @TICS_ARGS@ @TINFO_ARGS@ \
             @LDFLAGS_SHARED@ @LD_MODEL@ @LIBS@

So we see that both LDFLAGS_STATIC *and* LDFLAGS_SHARED are passed when
linking 'tic'. Bummer... :-(

I just looked at ncurses-5.9, and it's the same... :-/

Titus, did you never encountered the issue on your side?

Well, I'll see if it is sane to pass that through sed to remove -static...
Not tonight, though... So, "on your mark" to beat me to it! ;-)

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
