What do you refer to by "it"?

_PC_VDISABLE is in the generic part, so that's why ncurses sees it.
fpathconf is in the linux/ part, so that's why it's not compiled in.
Just take that implementation and it will get compiled in.

Ok, that should be fine.  In that case, maybe you should rather stub
access() as always failing, as it's not supposed to read files.

Err, I didn't port the userland tool, I ported the bootloader.  The
userland grub1 tool does not even include code to boot kernels,
actually...

It's a symlink to the ioemu/ tree, yes, I didn't mean a precise
directory name, just vaguely evoking ioemu.

In --with-build-*, I guess.  What do you hope to build with helper
programs?  Mini-OS kernels?  That would indeed require much more
invasive Makefile changes in ncurses.  I don't think you need that
anyway.
