how can i help fixing or analyzing this ?
If you want to debug it, and you're sure that you've linked bash against a
working ncurses library (use ldd to check), use gdb and see what's
happening.
Set a breakpoint in rl_clear_screen, run bash, type ^L, and when the
breakpoint hits, look at the value of _rl_term_clrpag. That is the
control sequence readline got from terminfo to clear the screen. Make
sure it's what your terminal expects to use to clear the screen.
