FYI, here are some updates to support building new version tmux with static link. avoid the error of "conflicting types for 'forkpty'"
to add "--with-termlib" option for ncurses configure command line:

./configure --prefix=$TMUXTARGET --with-termlib --with-default-terminfo-dir=/usr/share/terminfo --with-terminfo-dirs="/etc/terminfo:/lib/terminfo:/usr/share/terminfo"

@blreay thx, I've updated the gist and added the --with-termlib option.
