The linker is called by CC - I was trying to get the underlying command.
However, all other tests compiled and linked perfectly. This was the only
test that did not link.

The actual command was:

cc  -o blue ../obj_s/blue.o  -I. -I. -I../test -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
-DDATA_DIR=\"/usr/local/share\" -I. -I../include -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L
`echo "-L../lib -lform -lmenu -lpanel -lncurses   " | sed -e
's/-lform.*-lpanel[^ ]*//'`
