This is most obvious when building linuxboot on a non-x86 host. For
example, I use Linux x86_64.
Building the Linux kernel requires libncurses. Since ncurses is downloaded
and built by the makefile anyway, it should be used as a build dependency
for Linux.
Currently, the Makefile attempts to build Linux first, with the mrproper
target:
{{{

I can install the ncurses 32-bit development package from my distro
(Ubuntu) to workaround the issue:
{{{
$ sudo apt-get install lib32ncurses5-dev
}}}
