        + allow BUILD_CC and related configure script variables to be
          overridden from the environment.
        + make build-tools variables in ncurses/Makefile.in consistent with
          the configure script variables (report by Maciej W Rozycki).
        + modify ncurses/modules to allow
                configure --disable-leaks --disable-ext-funcs
          to build (report by Gary Samuelson).
        + fix a few places in configure.in which lacked quotes (report by
          Gary Samuelson <address@hidden>).
        + correct handling of multibyte characters in waddch_literal() which
          force wrapping because they are started too late on the line (report
          by Sam Varshavchik).
        + small fix for CF_GNAT_VERSION to ignore the help-message which
          gnatmake adds to its version-message.
        > Maciej W Rozycki <address@hidden>:
        + use AC_CHECK_TOOL to get proper values for AR and LD for cross
          compiling.
        + use $cross_compiling variable in configure script rather than
          comparing $host_alias and $target alias, since "host" is
          traditionally misused in autoconf to refer to the target platform.
        + change configure --help message to use "build" rather than "host"
          when referring to the --with-build-XXX options.
