Sigh... It slipped through... :-/

Yes, but no... :-(

- we need ncurses to build the native gdb that runs on the target.
- we need new-enough version of ncurses.
- ncurses needs tic to build... whatever it need to build.
- tic comes from ncurses
- new-enough ncurses hang when using too-old tic

--> so we need to build out own tic from the same version of ncurses we use
So far, we statically build our tic. As I said above, it slipped through...

Titus, thanks for spotting this.

Guylhem, if you don't really need a native gdb on your target, just disable
it for now. Otherwise, care to test the attached patch?

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
