undefined reference to `exit_curses'

Hi Everyone/Thomas,

I'm catching this error after upgrading to Ncurses 6.2:

My build script for Ncurses is here:
https://github.com/noloader/Build-Scripts/blob/master/build-ncurses.sh.
It is kind of busy, but I think the important configure option is
--disable-leaks. The script also performs the following steps (with
some hand-waving):

   configure
   make
   make check
   sudo make install

I've read through
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ncurses/2020-06/msg00006.html
but I am not sure what actions need to be performed.

Am I missing a configure option, or do I need to do something else to
complete the build?
