tinfo library detection as part of ncurses is inconsistent, and causes build failure when expected symbols aren't found at link-time.
This breaks compilation of the 'readline' module as the attached log shows.
It seems to work in some configurations and not others, different arches and libc's seem to be affected differently (suspect linker variations).
It would appear that uclibc-ng triggers this failure consistently, as I have verified on both x86_64 and armv7a Arches.

See https://bugs.gentoo.org/692128 for further details.

May have confused the '_readline' extension with the '_ncurses' extension .. apologies!

attaching build.log from x86_64.

Attached patch seems to fix build failure for python2.7 with uclibc-ng.

Attached patch seems to fix build with python3.6 withh uclibc-ng.

Tested on x86_64 and ARMv6zk.
