commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=9f1e9894ba042893f284271ab6ec8bd479d5d351
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2020.02.x

The host-ncurses install step attempts to run ldconfig, causing a permission
failure:

cd /buildroot/output/host/lib && (ln -s -f libncurses.so.6.0 libncurses.so.6; ln -s -f libncurses.so.6 libncurses.so; )
test -z "" && /sbin/ldconfig
/sbin/ldconfig: Can't create temporary cache file /etc/ld.so.cache~: Permission denied
make[3]: [/buildroot/output/host/lib/libncurses.so.6.0] Error 1 (ignored)

The error is non-fatal and ignored, but confusing.

The ncurses makefiles already avoid calling ldconfig when DESTDIR is set
(target case) but for host-ncurses DESTDIR is empty and the output/host path
is passed via --prefix.

Pass an empty ac_cv_path_LDCONFIG to the configure step, so than ldconfig is
not called.
