[Freeswitch-dev] [patch] build with the recent binutils (DSO link change)

[Jun Sun]

When I tried to build against the latest 64bit amazon ec2 instance, I 
got the following error:

----
...
checking for tgetent in -lncurses... no
checking for tgetent in -lcurses... no
configure: error: libtermcap, libcurses or libncurses are required!
----

A little bit research shows there was a ld behavior change recently. See 
the link below.

The attached patch fixes the problem. I *believe* the patch should be 
safe to older systems, but someone would have check it out.

Cheers.
