<term><parameter>--without-ada</parameter></term>
<listitem><para>This tells Ncurses not to build its Ada bindings, even
if an Ada compiler is installed on the host. This needs to be done
because once we enter the chroot environment, Ada will no longer be
available.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>This tells Ncurses to install its header files into

ensure that other packages can find the Ncurses headers
successfully.</para></listitem>
