-# On alpha-osf, it appears that libtermcap and libcurses are not compatible.
-# There is a very specific comment in /usr/include/curses.h explaining that
-# termcap routines built into libcurses must not be used.

-# The symptoms we observed so far is GDB unexpectedly changing
-# the terminal settings when tgetent is called - this is particularly
-# visible as the output is missing carriage returns, and so rapidly
-# becomes very hard to read.
-#
-# The readline configure script has already decided that libtermcap
-# was enough for its purposes, and so decided to build readline using
-# libtermcap. Since the TUI mode requires curses, building GDB with
-# TUI enabled results in both libraries to be used at the same time,
-# which is not allowed. This basically means that GDB with TUI is
-# broken on alpha-osf.
