+Subject: [PATCH] menuconfig: GCC failing saying ncurses is not found
+
+Newer GCC increased diagnostics levels resulting in considering the
+test code to be invalid. The resulting message was misleading, saying
+that ncurses was not found, while the check failed for an unrelated
+reason which was hidden because GCC stderr was redirected to
+/dev/null.
