I just managed a compilation of bash-3.2 using ncurses-5.6 and
uClibc-0.9.29 inside a qemu-system-sparc (native compilation,
no cross compilation).

"ldd ./bash" points naturally to libdl.so.0, libc.so.0, ld-uClibc.so.0

./bash
Segmentation fault

I do not have gdb compiled yet... I'll check soon with busybox
ash, since I recompiled uClibc with the sched_affinity patch.
