Hi,

Only breakage I noticed sofar is in pidgin when pidgin-2.6.6 checks
for wide char support:
configure:16212: checking if
/OE/tmpdir-dev-shr/sysroots/armv4t-oe-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/ncurses.h
supports wide characters
|                                       #ifndef get_wch
|                                       # error get_wch not found!
|                                       #endif

and then it decides not to build finch (and later do_package fails).

is it about ENABLE_WIDEC, or something else?

Thanks!
