Dear Andres, dear list,
it's just only llvmjit.so which (weirdly) links to libncurses.6.dylib here in EDBs postgresql-13.9 build - nothing else.
Neither plpgsql.so nor libpq.dylib reference libncurses.6.dylib - to answer your specific question about them.
Since I agree that this is no classic pgsql bug at all - I too wonder how to lure someone at EDB on this matter.
There seems no community support mail - just options for users owning a 'plan' ( I at least couldn't figure one out ).
But it too seems that EDB staff lurks in here on a regular basis - so my hope was to have them pick it up from here ;)
FWIW - I'll CC Sandeep Thakkar (from former issue #16460) in good hope to get things sorted.
Thankyou!
cheers,
Frank Reppin

That looks like an issue with the specific build - you're going to have to
take that up with EDB.

It's pretty odd that llvmjit.so is linking to ncurses. Looks like some
compiler flags might have been injected in a too broad way.
Are other libraries, e.g. plpgsql.so and libpq.dylib also referencing ncurses?
