hi,
gcc 4.3.3
ncurses 5.7

I am trying to build(cross compiling for mips) ncurses using a uclibc toolchain
but it gives following error;

lib64\libc.a(nsswitch.o): (.data.rel+0x18):undefined reference to
 '_nss_files_endaliasent'


uclibc does not support nss (it is supported by glibc),  how should i
solve this?

my config command is given below;

./configure --prefix=/ncurses_crosscompiled --disable-static --enable-shared
--target=mips64-xxxx-linux-gnu
CC=$xxxx_ROOT/tools/bin/mips64-xxxx-linux-gnu-gcc-4.3.3
LDFLAGS=-L$xxxx_ROOT/tools/lib/gcc/mips64-xxxx-linux-gnu/4.3.3/

plus ncurses mailing list says that ncurses has nothing to do with this
symbol "_nss_files_endaliasent" or library.


Kindly guide.
