This may seem an obvious error - using gcc - but even calling
arm-linux-gnu-gcc in this directory causes a failure and I've been
unable to convince ncurses to use arm-linux-gnu-gcc in this directory,
despite setting --host and --build as normal. Even make
CC=arm-linux-gnu-gcc -C $dir is ignored.
Filing the bug as a placeholder for buildd.emdebian.org so that we have
an online record of why ncurses is old in Emdebian.
