BUILD/compile-pentium failed to compile on Redhat Linux 8. 
Following command works fine.

(cd innobase; aclocal; autoheader; autoconf; automake)
(cd bdb/dist; sh s_all)
./configure

How to repeat:
BUILD/compile-pentium on Redhat 8.
I am not sure whether it is due to Redhat 8 use gcc 3.2.2

BUILD/compile-pentium works after installing ncurse 5.3.
I thought if  
----these work------------
aclocal;autoheader;autoconf;automake
(cd innobase; aclocal; autoheader; autoconf; automake)
(cd bdb/dist; sh s_all)
./configure;make 
-------------------------
Then BUILD/compile-pentium should work.
