I only suggested using crosstool's --builduserland as
an 'easy' way to build ncurses, since it happened to do it.

Newer ptxdist versions actually compile gdb for you, too.
If you get stuck doing it by hand, you might give
the latest cvs of ptxdist-testing a shot, and have it build
gdb.  Don't bother with crosstool's ptxdist in that case
(unless I happen to do a new release of crosstool with
an up-to-date ptxdist by the time you try it).

I suspect the current monthly invisible-island.net patch should be fine...
