Sorry, after playing a lot with compiling mc with different options 
(using ncurses etc.) to get subshell working, I made the last binary 
without subshell support (I thought that if it doesn't work, at least 
it'll be smaller).

So now with the right binary:

# mc -V
GNU Midnight Commander 4.6.1
Virtual File System: tarfs, extfs, cpiofs, ftpfs, fish
With builtin Editor
Using included S-Lang library with terminfo database
With subshell support as default
With support for background operations
With mouse support on xterm

Pressing ctrl + o shows the background, but I can't execute any shell 
commands (I return to mc immediately when pressing any key).


Strace available at http://wpkg.org/subshell.strace.gz (strace -o 
subshell.strace) and http://wpkg.org/sub.strace.gz (strace -o sub.strace 
mc -U).
