[plug] building GRUB against uClibc or as a static binary?

libcurses.(a|so.*) usually just symbolically links to ncurses in most
distros... ncurses is kind of a default library to install. In fact
curses.h also frequently is a symbolic link to ncurses.h

curses is never part of any libc.

it didn't find the includes it needed either.....because it didn't
try!..... all those implicit declarations and 'xxx' undeclared lines
give that away. I'd say that part of the 'configure' realised it wasn't
there and so didn't #include it, but another part still tried to call
the functions!
