ptxdist can't compile ncurses

[David Wuertele <dave-gnus at bfnet dot com>]

When ptx gets around compiling ncurses, it gives me this error:

   ./make_keys keys.list > init_keytry.h
   /bin/sh: ./make_keys: cannot execute binary file

Apparently this is what happens when ncurses doesn't use the HOSTCC to
compile make_keys.  Sounds simple enough, but I can't figure out how
to tell ptxdist to tell ncurses to use my HOSTCC.  Any suggestions?

I'm using crosstool-0.38 which apparently defaults to
ptxdist-testing-20031113.  Here's how I run crosstool:

  TARGET="mipsisa32el-dave-linux-gnu" \
  BINUTILS_DIR="binutils-2.15"        \
  GCC_DIR="gcc-3.3.3"                 \
  GLIBC_DIR="glibc-2.3.2"             \
  LINUX_DIR="linux-2.4.18"            \
  GLIBCTHREADS_FILENAME="glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.2" \
  TARBALLS_DIR="/home/dave/kegel.com/tarballs"     \
  RESULT_TOP="/home/dave/targets"           \
  GLIBC_EXTRA_CONFIG="--without-fp"         \
  TARGET_CFLAGS="-O2 -finline-limit=10000"  \
  GCC_EXTRA_CONFIG="--with-float=soft"      \
  HOSTCC="/usr/bin/gcc"                     \
  sh all.sh --builduserland

Here's how ptx configures ncurses:

  PATH="/home/dave/targets/gcc-3.3.3-glibc-2.3.2/mipsisa32el-dave-linux-gnu"/bin:$PATH AR="mipsisa32el-dave-linux-gnu"-ar AS="mipsisa32el-dave-linux-gnu"-as CXX="mipsisa32el-dave-linux-gnu"-g++ CC="mipsisa32el-dave-linux-gnu"-gcc LD="mipsisa32el-dave-linux-gnu"-ld NM="mipsisa32el-dave-linux-gnu"-nm OBJCOPY="mipsisa32el-dave-linux-gnu"-objcopy OBJDUMP="mipsisa32el-dave-linux-gnu"-objdump RANLIB="mipsisa32el-dave-linux-gnu"-ranlib STRIP="mipsisa32el-dave-linux-gnu"-strip CFLAGS='-O2 -finline-limit=10000'  ac_cv_func_getpgrp_void=yes ac_cv_func_setpgrp_void=yes ac_cv_sizeof_long_long=8 ac_cv_func_memcmp_clean=yes ac_cv_func_setvbuf_reversed=no ac_cv_func_getrlimit=yes BUILD_CC=gcc  \

Thanks,
