- <listitem>
- <para>This switch causes wide-character libraries (e.g., <filename
- class="libraryfile">libncursesw.so.&ncurses-version;</filename>)
- to be built instead of normal ones (e.g., <filename
- class="libraryfile">libncurses.so.&ncurses-version;</filename>).
- These wide-character libraries are usable in both multibyte and
- traditional 8-bit locales, while normal libraries work properly
- only in 8-bit locales. Wide-character and normal libraries are
- source-compatible, but not binary-compatible.</para>
