Comment 2 Joshua Lock - Disabled 2011-09-14 14:40:12 UTC 
Same failure for qemux86, further investigation required.
Comment 3 Saul Wold 2011-09-14 15:44:17 UTC 
Can you also attach your do_configure log, I think there might be an ordering issue and we need to fix a DEPENDS issue.  I want to see the way it configured and set up HAVE_NCURSES_TERMCAP and HAVE_TERMCAP specificly

log.do_configure
Comment 5 Joshua Lock - Disabled 2011-09-14 15:56:43 UTC 
Yeah, I'd just noticed we don't have ncurses in DEPENDS...
Comment 6 Saul Wold 2011-09-14 16:16:44 UTC 
Yes, that's your probelm, the do configure:
checking for tgetent in -lncurses... no
checking for tgetent in -lcurses... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermlib... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... no
checking for tgetent in -lterminfo... no
configure: WARNING: probably need a terminal library, one of: ncurses curses termlib termcap terminfo

So we need to add a ncurses to DEPENDS.
Comment 7 Joshua Lock - Disabled 2011-09-14 17:44:26 UTC 
This appears to be some kind of hellish host intrusion.

Texinfo does not support full cross compiling, it requires certain texinfo utilities on the host system.

We ASSUME_PROVIDED texinfo-native and require it on the build system to run, yet in the recipe we attempt to build the tools/ subdirectory with the host system - this requires a terminal library on the host.
Comment 8 Joshua Lock - Disabled 2011-09-14 18:32:59 UTC 
Unsurprisingly installing the development packages of texinfo's dependencies on my host (zlib-devel and ncurses-devel) works around this issue, but I'm fairly certain we don't want to require this of our users?

We patch out building the host version of the tools (native-tools in configure.ac)
Comment 10 Joshua Lock - Disabled 2011-09-19 10:15:48 UTC 
I filed it so I guess I have to verify it...
