the ocaml bytecode runtime includes some functions that uses curses so
that the compiler can display improved error messages on terminals.
The ocamlrun bytecode interpreter is thus linked with -lcurses. When
you use -custom, your executable includes the bytecode runtime and
gets the -lcurses flag.

The configure script has a -no-curses option to disable this.
