* [Buildroot] [PATCH] ncurses: Add libcurses symlink to libncurses

Some packages use -lcurses when they are linking, so they try to link to
a library called libcurses. The library provided by our ncurses package
is called libncurses, so those packages fail to link with a message like
this one:

/bin/ld: cannot find -lcurses

Installing a libcurses symlink to libncurses fixes the problem.

Fixes:

Can you define "some" in "Some packages" ?

Thanks!

Hi Thomas,

there is an autobuild report at the bottom of the commit message where 
you can see a package which is failing due to that problem.

Indeed, I missed it. Sorry for the silly comment. Patch looks good to
me.
