Description of problem:

ghc-6.12.3-5.fc15.src.rpm rebuild with gold (the alternative linker in
binutils) fails because configure script won't find curses:

Additional info:

Since gold might be the default linker (per
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/GoldLinkerDefault) this problem might be
worth fixing.
