The build fails at linkage phase with the following message.
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/11.3.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -ltinfo
It's looking for some "libtinfo", which is a library installed by ncurses when the "tinfo" USE flag is enabled.
However "tinfo" is not enabled by default if you have only the "core' flavor profile. So, definitely dev-util/dialog should explicitly depend on sys-libs/necurses[tinfo]. I also think that we should consider enabling "tinfo" in the core profile, as dialog is supposed to work on a tty terminal and on a server accessed through ssh, for example.
