Actually, thanks to Karl's suggestion to try static libncurses, I built
even better xindy binary, one that needs only libc and libm. This
means, in FreeBSD world, xindy that works out of the box on everything
newer than 7.0 (released in 2008) -- i.e. absolutely portable, which is
our main aim.

My steps:

* I followed these steps to build clisp-2.49:
https://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Build/source/utils/README?view=markup

Just for the case, I applied the official FreeBSD patches:
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/lang/clisp/files/

configure run like this:

./configure --with-ffcall \
  --with-libffcall-prefix=/root/clisp/clisp-tools \
  --disable-mmap --with-libsigsegv-prefix=/root/clisp/clisp-tools \
  --without-readline --disable-nls \
  --without-libiconv-prefix /root/clisp/clisp-build

The result:

./boot/lisp.run:
        libncurses.so.7 => /lib/libncurses.so.7 (0x80081d000)
        libiconv.so.3 => not found (0x0)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, to get rid of libncurses (which is, at least on FreeBSD, needed
for tgetent(), tgetnum(), tgetflag(), tputs() and tgoto()), after
running configure, I edited Makefile directly. In the line LIBS = ...,
instead of -lncurses, I put /usr/lib/libncurses.a.

Finally, to get rid of libcrypt, I simply physically removed libcrypt.so
from the system during the build. The compiler used libm instead of it,
which is very good.

The result looks nice:

./comment5:
        libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x800634000)
./gctrigger:
        libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x800635000)

        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x80085e000)
        libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x800978000)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry, due to shortage of time and since our main goal is achieved, I
can't try to translate these steps into a proper patch against clisp
source right now. But if you find it useful to do so (since increased
portability is useful on every platform), I'll be glad to test.

Best,
