	Very strange. You should have an error in config.log. Warning, 
configure builds a static executable and a static library. Thus, all 
libraries in ./tools and ./rplcas are recursively configured. If error 
occurs in ncurses configuration, you have to check error in 
$(builddir)/tools/$(ncurses)/config.log.

	I don't know this SoC, but it seems to run over an Atom. Thus, I don't 
know why you obtain this error. Please send here your configuration 
(head config.log), operating system, gcc version and faulty config.log. 
Maybe your gcc doesn't understand one of the harcoded flags.
