Change the order on that command, libraries come last and dependent libraries
should be called in order:

gcc -O2 -Wall -static -o m2emu main.o prefs.o comm.o /usr/lib/libpanel.a \
 usr/lib/libncurses.a

You don't need "-lpanel -lncurses" if you are including the whole library in
your command.  If you want better output don't include the static libraries, add
the -l part and let the linker pick and choose what is needed.
