            Bug ID: 15685
           Summary: Buildroot fails to build due to host-ncurses' tic
                    crashing on  _nc_disable_period
           Product: buildroot
           Version: 2023.02.2
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
          Assignee: unassigned@buildroot.uclibc.org
          Reporter: rpe2101@gmail.com
                CC: buildroot@uclibc.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Problem appears to be that the host-ncurses tic only is built with linker
RUNPATH vs. the old RPATH.  Buildroot's tic is trying to use the system so
file.  GCC version in Ubuntu 23.04 takes the RPATH flag and makes it a RUNPATH
with the builtroot's current default ldflags.  Either this or the scripts using
buildroot built host programs need to update LD_LIBRARY_PATH to use buildroot's
version of dynamic libraries, in this case ncurses.so.  Have potential diff at
end.

        You may see messages regarding extended capabilities, e.g., AX.
        These are extended terminal capabilities which are compiled
        using
                tic -x
        If you have ncurses 4.2 applications, you should read the INSTALL
        document, and install the terminfo without the -x option.

I was able to fix this by forcing all host programs to be build with a flag to
use the RPATH's.  I believe the below diff is the correct location to put the
change.
