Actually I didn't read the README carefully. it said
- GNU make.  If your GNU make is invoked by some name other than `make',
 try setting the envvar TL_MAKE to what is needed.
and I forget to do this. Sorry. The README is correct.


Karl: I think you are the one who can modify the "TeXLive bugs" page.
Can you add the ncurses issue?
