That's already the case. The issue was that ncurses-5.9 does not look in
$PATH for the tic to run, and uses, in order:
  ${TIC_PATH}
  /usr/bin/tic

Yes, that last one is hard-coded! ncurses-5.8 did behave correctly in this
regard.

And since I upgraded my machie to a newer distro, I did not catch the
problem.

But it is now fixed in the default branch:
    http://crosstool-ng.org/hg/crosstool-ng/rev/bd17cca444ae

I'll back-port this fix to the 1.13 branch, and will probably put out a
release soonish. In the meantime, you just need to apply this patch to
your local sources.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
