Well, anyhow, I believe it's safe and a good idea to pass
--without-ncurses when building host-util-linux, so that util-linux
doesn't try to look for some ncurses support on the host machine (we
don't need ncurses support in host-util-linux at all).
Can you send a patch that does just this?
Thanks!
