The original thread included libpcre, it was libpcre side was in fact fixed 
prior to the initial patch being submitted.  ncurses however is still broken.

If I revert this commit in my tree, and add to IMAGE_INSTALL "ncurses-libtinfo", 
I get the following failure:

NOTE: Resolving any missing task queue dependencies
ERROR: Nothing RPROVIDES 'ncurses-libtinfo' (but 
/msp-lpggp21/lmhatle/build-1/layers/oe-core/meta/recipes-core/images/core-image-minimal.bb 
RDEPENDS on or otherwise requires it)
NOTE: Runtime target 'ncurses-libtinfo' is unbuildable, removing...
Missing or unbuildable dependency chain was: ['ncurses-libtinfo']
ERROR: Required build target 'core-image-minimal' has no buildable providers.
Missing or unbuildable dependency chain was: ['core-image-minimal', 
'ncurses-libtinfo']

with the patch applied it completes successfully.

Reproducer:

Add to conf/local.conf

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " ncurses-libtinfo"

bitbake core-image-minimal
