Menuconfig choking on undefined reference to `acs_map'

[Boerner, Brian]

So, this is a really stupid question, but it looks like menuconfig is
failing all of a sudden. I say that because this used to work fine.
Unfortunately this system is used by a number of people and what happens to
it is out of my control. So it's failing to find the acs_map symbol in the
libncurses.a library. A quick look at libncurses.a shows that it does
exists:

$ nm -v libncurses.a | grep acs
         U _acs_mapf
         U _acs_mapf
         U __nc_init_acs
         U _acs_mapf
         U _acs_mapf
lib_acs.o:
00000000 d _acs_map
00000000 T _acs_mapf
0000000c T __nc_init_acs
00001174 t _append_acs0
000011a4 t _append_acs

I've even tried just adding /lib/libncurses.a instead of using -lncurses,
but it's still busted. I'm sure there is a simple solution to this that I'm
just not seeing. Can someone give me a clue; I feel like it's Monday.
