What I'd really like is to get rid of ncurses at all. crosstool-NG builds
ncurses for the target because I was unable to tell gdb not to use ncurses.

If someone finds the correct incantation to this effect, then we'd be able
to get rid of ncurses. In the meantime, I don't care ncurses doing weird
things, of which installing a dangling symlink is the least annoying of
all (but still it is, I agree). Let's keep it that way.

Yann E. MORIN.
