ncurses 5.7 compile failure when crosscompiling to arm

[Bernhard Rosenkraenzer]

Hi,
ncurses 5.7 compiles and works fine on x86_64, but when I try to
crosscompile it to armv6j-unknown-linux-gnueabi, I get (while compiling a
tool that is run on the x86_64 build machine, not even while building the
arm lib):

gcc -o make_hash -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../ncurses -I. -I./../include
-I../include   ./tinfo/make_hash.c

I tried both stock 5.7 and 5.7 with all patches up to 20100306 applies,
with identical results.

Any ideas?
