STAGING_LIBDIR_NATIVE sounds ok for me

It should be done in classes/native.bbclass not in ncurses-native. The 
problem is wider as there are few distributions which have host versions 
of stuff other then OE use as native. As a result building of native 
stuff which depend on native libraries can fail - when you will set 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH in native.bbclass then it should work.
