Before wondering about MIPS problems with builds, always check the
latest autobuild information at
http://www.emdebian.org/buildd/index.php

ncurses arm 5.6+20080823-1em1 Tue 26th Aug, 20:27:14 UTC 
maybe failed Failed to cross-build.

This has been a long standing problem with ncurses and widechar support:

If you have a patch that fixes that, I really need to see it.

(I believe the same would happen with mips-linux-gnu-ar.)

Note that this only seems to happen in a chroot build.
