Hi Thomas;

  Thank you very much for your reply.

  I don't need the ada language support, so I turned that off by using 
"--without-ada".  Apparently ncurses built successfully without ada support.  
However, I am unable to build gdb because I don't have an arm9 termcap.  I 
was hoping that this would be provided by ncurses, but it seems that there is 
only terminfo support.

  Please advise.

Thanks,
Ken Wolcott
