commit: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=af23d762e51be20f812b9d958268843ae4e369cb
branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

On the host, we generally build and install a shared library rather
than a static version of libraries. In this specific case, we will
want to build host-gettext, which builds a shared library that depends
on ncurses. And this doesn't work well if ncurses is static because it
hasn't been built with -fPIC. Therefore, let's build ncurses as shared
on the host.
