Seems ncurses has issues.  To get it to cross-compile I first had to
compile it with CC=...arm-gcc, though this fails in a linking phase
because it tries to link c++ code using arm-gcc.

Then, run make again with CC=...arm-g++ and it will link.

You can't build the whole thing with CC=..arm-g++ because of
compile errors, however.

I probably got lucky yesterday and got it mostly compiled before
I switched to g++.

Anyway, looks like that's working good enough now, and probably the
errors are all to do with ncurses and nothing wrong with crosstool.

Thanks,
Ben
