Well, apparently slang has the same problem as ncurses, with regards to
gcc installing their own version.

I recall someone saying (or gainsaying, don't recall) that recompiling gcc
after ncurses is updated would fix the ncurses.h file which gcc installs,
so that we'd no longer have to remove it after an ncurses update (it is a
Bad Thing (TM) to remove files from a spells installation, makes them
"corrupted" for 'cast --fix').

So, if recompiling gcc after ncurses (and slang) fixes those, we should
add triggers to gcc so that it recompiles after these are updated (and any
others that people find).  I haven't tried recompiling gcc to see if this
works (recompiling now, but it's a PII-300, so it'll take a while.  ;)),
but if anyone else knows/can try faster, please do.

Here is the slang info:
