Cross-compiling GHC for ARM (RPi)

[Karel Gardas]

Two obvious questions:

1) have you installed your ncurses into your sysroot?

2) have you passed your sysroot to really all gcc invocations?

Your description looks like at least one answer to above question should 
be "no".

For example I used custom bash script to solve (2), see [1].

Cheers,
Karel
