Which system are you trying this on? Linux? macOS? One of the BSDs?
This is on Linux. Does it require ncurses 6.5? It's building against
ncurses 6.4. The duplicates are all between libreadline, which comes from
the bash sources, and libcurses.
I don't play with static linking on Linux, which as far as I know has been
discouraged for years, so I don't have a ready way to test this, but you
should be able to add -DNEED_EXTERN_PC to your CFLAGS and rebuild.
(Technically you only need to recompile lib/readline/terminal.c and remake
libreadline.a.)
