https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/54230

Description:
I'm trying to build a custom Linux kernel. For this purpose, I want to use the menuconfig built into the kernel source. However, instead of the expected menu navigation, pressing the arrow keys prints characters on the screen. All the changes I made to the template were adding ncurses and ncurses-devel as dependencies and instead of 
`make ARCH=$arch ${_cross} ${makejobs} prepare` 
I added 
`TERM=xterm-256color make ARCH=$arch ${_cross} ${makejobs} menuconfig` 
But the result is as in the picture.

What am I doing wrong?

Was used xbps 0.59-2.1, build target x86_64 glib

Comment:
if you want to run menuconfig, it's better to

```
./xbps-src -C patch
./xbps-src chroot
cd /builddir/linux6...
make menuconfig
```

xbps-src isn't designed to run interactive programs mid-build, especially curses stuff
