As far as I can tell, the ncurses package seems to be misconfigured in the
whiterussian release and the current development snapshot. Some time back
there was a brief discussion of a problem with the default libraries. It seems to be that the current
snapshot is not configuring this package for the target build system. (i.e. the
ncurses makefile specifies the target as GNU_HOST). I am new to openwrt to my apologies in advance if this
is an error on my part.

The package is configured twice :
1) to build static librairies and tic (terminfo compiler) statically
2) to build shared libraries and generate the terminfo files, compiled with tic built in 1)
I have not tried the resulting libraries, but objdump gave me the feeling they were good ones :
$ objdump -f build_mipsel/ncurses-5.2/ipkg-install/usr/lib/libncurses.so
build_mipsel/ncurses-5.2/ipkg-install/usr/lib/libncurses.so: file format elf32-tradlittlemips
architecture: mips:isa32, flags 0x00000150:
HAS_SYMS, DYNAMIC, D_PAGED
start address 0x0000c590The discussion might have continued from here.
