May I suggest you to test gpm package with different toolchain 
configuration ?

It won't build in static case (BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB=y):
"i686-buildroot-linux-uclibc/bin/ld: attempted static link of dynamic 
object `lib/libgpm.so.2'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status"

There is also some errors about missing gpm.h in these files: (wrong path)
display-buttons.c
display-coords.c
get-versions.c
||
And It would be good to disable the doc installation on target.

Thank for your contribution (I was working on gpm package too ;-) )

Best regards,
Romain Naour
