I ended up getting an error much later on in the build process, while 
executing do_install() for uclibc (0.9.28).  ld couldn't find crt1.o while 
executing the "make install_dev install_runtime" step.  ld wants crt1.o in 
the cross directory.  Sorry, didn't save the exact error message.

I got around this by defining UCLIBC_PREFIX to what it was before 
("${CROSS_DIR}/${TARGET_SYS}"), and then adding the following to the top of 
uclibc.inc's do_install():

	oe_runmake PREFIX= DEVEL_PREFIX=${UCLIBC_STAGE_PREFIX}/ \
		RUNTIME_PREFIX=${UCLIBC_STAGE_PREFIX}/ \
		install_dev install_runtime

This is essentially what was there before.  With this in place, I get much 
further.  

It almost feels like the patch a week ago to uclibc.inc needed some patches to 
binutils-cross or something to go with it...

Now the build stopped while building ncurses-native_5.4.  Patch didn't apply 
properly...
