pinfo configure problem

[Andrew Schulman <schulman.andrew@epa.gov>]

I'm trying to build pinfo 0.6.10 in 64-bit.  The configure script halts,
claiming "curses is not usable".  The command that fails is:

  gcc -o conftest.exe -g -O2 -I/usr/include -L/usr/lib -lncursesw
conftest.c 

and this fails because the order of the arguments is wrong.  The command
should be

  gcc -o conftest.exe -g -O2 -I/usr/include conftest.c -L/usr/lib
-lncursesw 

and that succeeds.  So my question is really an autoconf question:  How
can I tell autoconf to fix the order of the compiler arguments?

My autoconf knowledge is pretty thin I'm afraid.  I can provide the
configure.ac script if that would be helpful.  The source is old - I
think the last real update was in 2007, with a small update posted in
2010.

Thanks,
Andrew
