debug/gdb: staticaly link to ncurses for the native gdb

Staticaly link the native gdb (the one that runs on the target,
not the cross one that runs on the host) to ncurses.
     1 Original patch from H.J. Lu, as reported there:
     2 http://www.nabble.com/PATCH:-Use-short-for-fnstsw-td14775171.html
     3 
     4 fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.
     5 The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
