What I do in crosstool-NG is that I first natively build the 'tic' program
and use that later when cross-building ncurses.
Native build of tic: see lines 159 to 190:
http://crosstool-ng.org/hg/crosstool-ng/file/tip/scripts/build/debug/300-gdb.sh#l159

So, to be fool-proff in all cases, buildroot should build its own native
tic program first.
