There is a race condition in ncurses installation. Two targets (install.libs and install.includes) install the same files, resulting in a race condition when running parallel make. One way to fix the race is to install the targets sequentially. The other way is to ensure only one of the targets actually installs the files. The second approach is more invasive, but more efficient: Not only we are still able to use parallel make, but also the files are installed only once. This race is addressed in a patch file, making sure only one of the targets (install.includes) installes the include files. This will work properly (i.e.ncurses will install as intended by the recipe) as long as we always install both targets.
