It used to be that ncurses was included in older uClinux-dist packages
that also included glibc (the code  was in uClinux-dist/glibc/ncurses).
But glibc is no longer in the dist. And I doubt that it was ever
usable for the non-mmu targets, even in that older code.

Don't know about the blackfin package.
