Well, with libncurses5-dev, "make menuconfig" gives me a menu.
But the menu breaks when I try to select the framebuffer menu.
And I notice that xconfig won't give me the "advanced framebuffer" menu,
and fails to set any framebuffer fonts at all. Hence "make vmlinux" fails.

I think I'll just look for a canned .config file now and see if that
works.
