Yes I do have a copy of the both builds and I have tried to compare their 
logs. However I have not found something fundamentally different for both 
builds in the logs, they look identical except for the paths for work 
directory (but I haven't proofed all the log files precisely, would take me 
ages and don't have time for this now).

The files of the succeeding build are correct in both image and install (no 
more references):
- wrong build (libncurses.la snip):
# Libraries that this one depends upon.
dependency_libs=' -L/home/valentin/OE/angstrom/work/armv6-angstrom-linux-
gnueabi/ncurses-5.4-r15/ncurses-5.4/lib'

- correct build (libncurses.la snip):
# Libraries that this one depends upon.
dependency_libs='

I don't really know where to look at more precisely, if you point me to 
somewhere, I'll have a look.
