I'm beginning to think that something within your ncurses
installation is wrong (¡expletive! - that would mean Dan was right
and it is a clfs problem). Please take a look at all the ncurses
files in /lib and /usr/lib (the date and time should help you identify
them), things like libform, libmenu, libncurses, libpanel, libmenu,
and libcurses. Normally, each of these should have one static (.a)
archive in /usr/lib and a series of shared objects (.so*) which
ultimately point to a binary. In a straight clfs install, the
pointing is all done by symlinks, so libncurses.so.5.5 should be the
binary, and it should be in /lib. All the libcurses and libncurses
shared objects in /usr/lib should link to this through a series of
symlinks.
For each of the libraries I listed, first verify that there is a
binary .so.5.5 in /usr/lib with a size in the tens or hundreds of
kilobytes (instead of a file with only a few bytes containing a link
instruction), then verify that each of the other .so* variants in /lib
and /usr/lib has an unbroken chain of symbolic links to get to the
binary.
Let's do a quicky sanity check and see what the toolchain has to say
about your libraries.

Here's what my fresh build just did.

Obviously, yours may not be 32-bit. But you should get the shared
library by default.
