Phobos - breaking existing code

[Walter Bright via Digitalmars-d]

This is more of an Ubuntu-y issue, but I'm having trouble getting it to link 
with ncurses. This used to work:

cc $(LDFLG)  -o med $(OBJ) -l :libncurses.so.5 -l phobos2 -l pthread -l m

but alas, no longer with the latest Ubuntu. (Linux people keep trying to get rid 
of termcap, it's a constant issue.) -lncurses fails, everything I try fails.

Any ideas?
