Hi
Well, I tried cross-emerging bash-3.2_p5, and for whatever reason, did not 
suffer
the "cannot run test program while cross compiling" error that bash-3.1_p17 was
giving me; however now thing break later on with:

/usr/libexec/gcc/i686-pc-linux-uclibc/ld: cannot find -lcurses
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [bash] Error 1

...however ncurses has been installed, both in the host target and the build 
host...

You have to merge every library to your cross-compile-root, means in your case to merge ncurses first to /usr/cross-... And then to your other root without the X-Toolchain. This is, because the X-Compiler searches there for libraries and not in another $ROOT. So, the steps to go are:

ROOT="/usr/cross-SOMEXTOOLCHAIN" [ PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="SOMEOTHERROOTWITHCONF"] emerge LIBPACKAGE
ROOT="YOUROTHERROOT" emerge PACKAGES

I always emerge everything first to the X-Toolchain root with making packages and then I emerge the packages without recompiling them to my development root.
