Hey Alan!

That indeed appears to be the case.  I took the liberty of compiling the
source obtained at https://github.com/golded-plus/golded-plus.git and below
are the results;

 :r !file -b ~/WeBeBashing/source/golded-plus/bin/gedlnx
ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked,
interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 4.9.0, stripped

 :r !ldd ~/WeBeBashing/source/golded-plus/bin/gedlnx | tr -d '\t'
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff63bfd000)
libncursesw.so.6 => /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6 (0x00007fe032fe4000)
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007fe032c00000)
libm.so.6 => /usr/lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007fe032f05000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fe032ee4000)
libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fe032a1f000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fe033216000)

As shown, ncurses-6 widec without tinfo has no obvious compilation issues with
gcc-12.2.0 and friends.

Life is good,
