Thanks for testing!

What is that needed for? I don't like adding gratuitious features
and would prefer to understand the actual purpose in order to find
a solution that is as simple as possible.

Maybe adding ${LDADD} to the soelim ${CC} line is a good solution?
It may depend on what the actual problem is.

Hmm, POSIX slightly favours having more(1) as the default in man(1)
but explicitly allows a system to use a different pager by default.
So maybe. But implementing it is a bit of a bother because it
requires patching the file man.1 at configuration time. I'm not
sure yet whether i want to do that. I won't do it for the 1.13.4
release, it would be too intrusive at this point.
If you prepare a port for an operating system where the system more(1)
is unusable, i'd recommend adding local patches to the appropriate
places in main.c and man.1 for now.
Yours,
Ingo
