It seems you have pkg-config (or ncursesw5-config or ncursesw6-config), but no header files :-) For example Fedora after "dnf remove ncurses-devel" ./configure ... checking for NCURSESW... no checking for ncursesw6-config... no checking for ncursesw5-config... no checking for initscr in -lncursesw... no checking for NCURSES... no checking for ncurses6-config... no checking for ncurses5-config... no checking for initscr in -lncurses... no > On a X86-64 QEMU virtual machine running Fedora 25, Fedora 24, the following test failed: > fincore: count file contents in core ...

How I can force util-linux build system to accept tcc?
