This usually happens when you mix PDCurses functions with conio
functions.  You need to examine your code and replace all calls to
conio functions with equivalent PDCurses functions.  Then the problem
should go away.

The linker doesn't include all of the library (otherwise even a hello
world program would take 600KB), it only includes those object modules
that it needs to resolve the external references in your code.

The problem is that all the conio functions are defined on a single
module, since they are tightly coupled, so if you use even a single
conio function, the linker links in all of them.

The solution, as I said above, is to avoid mixing PDCurses and conio.
They are incompatible.
