ncurses replacing ptx issues (was: Re: crosstool: wrong assumption made wrt compression method of source binaries (bz2 vs gz))

["Wolcott, Ken (MED, Compuware)" <Ken dot Wolcott at med dot ge dot com>]

Hi Dan;

  So does ncurses provide all that gdb needs?  In that case I no longer need 
to build crosstool with --builduserland?

  There seems to be a significant variance between what currently exists on 
invisible-island.net ftp server regarding ncurses patches than your script 
assumes, so I'm editing it to match those up.  I assume I will need all 
patches at the same or later timestamp that you downloaded?

  Hope a get a working arm9 gdb soon, or I'm going to be in host water :-(

  I really appreciate your tips and patience with me...

Ken
