Yes, i started to work on proper BIRD package for OpenWRT (based on your
Makefile) and fixed this issue in upstream. Building just IPv4 version is
easy, building both IPv4 and IPv6 version in two packages from one
Makefile is a little tricky :-) .

Probably ncurses have to be handled in the same way.

I think that bird without birdc is not really useful, but probably it might
be useful to compile birdc without libncurses and libreadline (or perhaps
just without libreadline).

It is expected to compile birdc6. The command set might be different
(but probably only difference is an absence of OSPF in birdc6). Also
default socket name is different, but this could be easily changed.
