Description
Host system is again Gentoo Live DVD 2011. I had to add --without-gpm to the configure flags to get around it.

This will be fixed with the merge of Jeremy's sysroot-based build method.

From JH:
"unless ncurses is doing something non-standard to detect gpm, I don't think this should be happening. The point of the chapter 5 toolchain is to remove /usr or anything like it from the search paths. DJ can you dig in the logs to find out what ncurses is doing to detect gpm? In the meantime, I've downloaded the gentoo live dvd and am going to play a bit."
