Oops, I didn't make myself perfectly clear. The MIPS cross-compile
works fine. It's when I have

  --build=3Di686-linux
  --target=3Di686-linux
  --host=3Di686-linux

that it decides that there is no cross-compiling, and starts
just using plain gcc for compiling and linking. So gdb ends
up picking up my local /lib/libncurses.so.5.

I lied to it by doing this:

  --build=3Di686-bsd
  --target=3Di686-linux
  --host=3Di686-linux

But there has to be a better way.
