+Author: "P. J. McDermott" <pj@pehjota.net>
+Subject: Fix mconf linking
+
+Recent versions of GNU ld no longer resolve references to symbols in implicitly
+linked shared objects.
+
+The object "scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.o" references the symbol
+"acs_map", which is defined in libtinfo.so.5, which is only implicitly linked.
+
+This hack causes libtinfo.so.5 to be explicitly linked (added to mconf's
+DT_NEEDED) for the symbol to be resolved.
+
+See <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/UnderstandingDSOLinkChange> for a general
+description of ld's behavior.
+
+(Of course this is only needed to run `make menuconfig`. Normal preconfigured
+builds don't need this.)
