I recieved this explanation from David Engel:

At the current time, libc_g can only be used when linking statically,
i.e. when -static is used.

Does this resolve the problem for you? Can we close the bug report?

Maybe... looks like we need to bug ncurses3.4 instead... (ncurses progs 
don't compile with -static...)
