[oe] bitbake error on ncurses_5.4.bb C compiler cannot create executables

[ranjith kannikara]

hi,
Thanks for all the responses.
I am using
   bitbake 1.8.18
   openembedded latest git pull form dev
   os-ubuntu 10.04

I got the problem cleared by just commenting the line which has the flag
"-fforward- ***" in the file ncurses5.4.inc <http://ncurses5.4.bb/>

Regards,
Ranjith
