Hi,

powertop is a weird piece of code;)

Using this defconfig

BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_CXX=y
BR2_PACKAGE_POWERTOP=y

configure works

checking for NCURSES... no
checking for library containing delwin... -lncurses
[...]

but then this happens:

lib.cpp: In function 'void align_string(char*, size_t, size_t)':
lib.cpp:271:59: error: 'mbsrtowcs' was not declared in this scope
  sz = mbsrtowcs(NULL, (const char **)&buffer, max_sz, NULL);

Afaics mbsrtowcs() is a function which is only available with a wchar-enabled 
toolchain, so my patch does the right thing, but the description needs some 
additions.

Regards, Bernd

PS: Upstream of the powertop tarball is problematic:
