ncurses: fix hanging installation due to old version of tic

Browse Source 
Closes #3685

During installation of ncurses, the 'tic' program from the host is used. In
some cases, this version of tic is too old for the data to be processed, and
the installation hangs indefinitely (already reported in July 2010, see [1])

With this patch, a static version of tic is built and used during the
installation step of target ncurses. This method is based on a similar fix
in Gentoo Linux (see [2] for the report and [3] for the solution).
