Details:
Hi,
I'm a maintainer of Homebrew (a macOS package manager) and we're trying to
build packages on the newly released macOS 11.0 and its counterpart Xcode 12
release. GNU Screen v4.8.0 fails to build:
```
configure: checking select with -lnet -lnsl...
configure: error: !!! no select - no screen
```
and later
```
configure: error: !!! no tgetent - no screen
```
Upon investigation, it seems like it fails because Clang 12 requires functions
to be defined before use.
There exist some patches elsewhere that fix this by `include`ing the right
headers, for example, this set from MacPorts:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/38df2ef467d4bcce657e8b8d36735c1fc9bb64eb.
Thanks,
Issy.
