No mention of the additional slang dependency is made here?

This is is not acceptable since the include directory /usr/include/slang
is still being looked at and this just "hides" the error. STAGING_INCDIR
is on the compilers default search path anyway.

So this patch is wrong in several different ways :(

I've merged a temporary fix until we get this resolved properly.
