This builds and works on aarch64, please add it to the arch list.

When this package is installed, ldconfig creates a file /usr/lib/libtermcap.so, which is not tracked by pacman

Add

cd "$pkgdir"/usr/lib

ln lib${pkgname}.so.${pkgver} lib${pkgname}.so

to the package function to avoid this.

Had the same problem as @Sandmann when trying to compile the OpenWRT build root, could you please incorporate the modification @beej.

Hi, thanks for maintaining this package. The final shared object is built without the tparam.c and version.c file which leads to undefined references in one of the packages that I maintain [1]. Thus, I have updated the PKGBUILD script for this package to take care of the issue [2]. It was nice if you could integrate those changes here, too.

It seems that ftp.gnu.org is offline.
