As Bruce said, this won't matter in chapter 5.
Note that binutils, gcc and file all use libtool to install their
libraries, which is why they consistently do the right thing. Ncurses,
instead, doesn't use libtool by default. It can be enabled by passing
'--with-libtool' to configure, but that requires the host to have libtool
installed (this is another bug in ncurses, it should include a means of
generating the libtool script like binutils, gcc and file do). Even when
the host has libtool and '--with-libtool' was passed, Ncurses doesn't call
out to libtool for the installation of the libraries which means it still
doesn't do 'ldconfig -n /tools/lib'!
Gilles, if you want to pass this report upstream, then feel free, but I
don't think there's any point in us doing anything for what are just
cosmetic warnings in the log files.
