I agree that we don't want to generate terminfo in the /host/ ncurses. I 
can confirm that adding --disable-db-install fixes the build behavior 
that I also see (building host-ncurses writes to my ~/.terminfo).

I can't imagine a problem, but I just haven't yet been able to rebuild a 
full toolchain with --disable-db-install.
