Ok, fair enough, I wondered but wasn't sure. its clear now :)

I'm convinced, it make sense. Feel free to add STAGING_LIBDIR_NATIVE and
then use it in the ncurses bb file (maybe mention in a comment there is
a util used in do_install which needs to find libraries from
ncurses-native).

In fact this raises the question of whether that should be set globally?
