In general you cannot cross compile crash. The code in crash require that host and target
are the same. There are a few exception as the architectures in some cases are equal
enough. Example:
target=ARM and host=X86 (and host=X86_64 building crash as a 32-bit executable)
target=ARM64 and host=X86_64
target=X86 and host=X86_64 (building crash as a 32-bit executable)
there might be other examples, but these are the ones I have come across.

That's right -- in this case the 32-bit ncurses-devel library is missing.
Hope this helps,

Yes, it works, thanks!
BTW, can I cross compile the crash, say, build an arm/ppc binary on
x86_64 host?
