I've checked and the configure script is checking for (or at least works
when) libncurses5-dev is installed on the host.

When lncurses is installed, the package from that specific config builds
fine. So it looks like host-mysql doesn't depend on host-ncurses, or
something along those lines.

I have removed libncurses5 from the autobuilder per our discussion on it
a few months back.
