Re: libcurses Makefiles are broken in HEAD

Christos, thank you for committing your changes. I noticed that you have 
altered the tools/vgrind Makefile as well. While I have an educated guess as to 
why you altered this Makefile, it causes errors when I either update or rebuild 
the tools from scratch:

install ===> vgrind
#   install  /mnt/lfs/NetBSD-CVS/src/../tools/libexec/nbvfontedpr

ERROR: Failed to make build_install in "tools"
*** BUILD ABORTED ***

Currently, I'm still trying to figure out what causes this error, but my guess 
is that: vgrind is now required to be built as a tool for cross-builds, when 
previously it was not (i.e. the $TOOL_VFONTEDPR variable is now set for 
cross-builds), and the vgrind tool Makefile is not "cross-build-safe" Indeed, 
the temporary file that ./build.sh complains about is missing:

william@xubuntu-ltrain:/mnt/lfs/NetBSD-CVS/src$ ls ../tools/share/misc/
magic.mgc  menu_sys.def  msg_sys.def

Do you have any advice on how to fix this error?

Again, thank you for your help! :)

I see the problem, and I will commit a workaround shortly until this is
fixed properly.
