The problem is that TIC_PATH is nor honored anymore in chapter
6, so that tic from the host is used to create the terminfo
database in chapter 6. The problem is that old versions of
tic create symlinks in the database, while newer versions
create hardlinks. Since we use a DESTDIR install in chapter 8
(with a recent version of ncurses, so with hardlinks), and copy
it in place with cp -a, then it seems that copying hardlinks to
symlinks. If an old version of tic has been used in chapter 6,
this copies hardlinks to symlinks, which creates symlinks
pointing to themselves (cp bug?).
Anyway, the solution is to copy the auxilliary tic built
in chapter 6 to $LFS/tools/bin (suggestion by Xi Ruoyao).
Now, there is no need to set TIC_PATH or whatever because this
tic is in the PATH.
Bug first reported by Marcin Dulak. Analysis with the help of
Bruce Dubbs and Thomas Trepl.

The effect will not change, but with symlinks ld can save some time
invoking open(), read(), etc. syscalls and parsing the linker scripts.
Note that I've also removed "libcursesw" symlink because this library
has never existed. Instead libcurses.so is created as a symlink
direct to libncursesw.so.
instead of the 8-bit ncurses.
We don't provide the 8-bit ncurses library and we are "faking" it using
ncursesw. Thus innocent package may be compiled with the 8-bit ABI
(because it does not know what we are doing and so it does not use
the "expected" preprocessor definitions to enable the wide ABI) but
linked against ncursesw, causing a potential ABI mismatch.
Presently we let the build system generate static C++ bindings, and
then we remove them. Note that we could also prevent generating
any C++ binding, since nothing in LFS/BLFS use them, but it seems to
me that generating the shared ones is closer to what is done for
other packages.

Thanks again for a significant portion of this work goes to Xi, I only
really merged it and made a couple of modifications for my updates. To
LFS 11.x we go!
