sure.  I'm working on a 20+ year-old-bug report :-)

ncurses 5.3 was October 12, 2002.

Later that year, I modified the configure script:

20021214
        + allow BUILD_CC and related configure script variables to be
          overridden from the environment.
        ...
        + use $cross_compiling variable in configure script rather than
          comparing $host_alias and $target alias, since "host" is
          traditionally misused in autoconf to refer to the target platform.

The latter part is this chunk:

--- ncurses-5.3/configure       2002-09-22 00:49:14.000000000 +0000
+++ ncurses-5.3-build/configure 2024-09-07 17:55:57.687860944 +0000
@@ -1976,7 +1976,7 @@
 BUILD_CPPFLAGS='$(CPPFLAGS)'
 BUILD_LDFLAGS='$(LDFLAGS)'
 BUILD_LIBS='$(LIBS)'
-if test "$host_alias" != "$target_alias" ; then
+if test "$cross_compiling" = yes ; then
 
 # Check whether --with-build-cc or --without-build-cc was given.
 if test "${with_build_cc+set}" = set; then

There's a long story for that change - originally (mid-1990s) cross compiling
was only set up by invoking an autoconf macro (not something that one could
choose as an option on the command-line).  Later, at the time when I added
the build-cc option, that was via command-line options but using a different
combination than you would now.  It went through a few (successively
incompatible) changes, and post-5.3 I found that autoconf developers had
changed it again - hence this fix.

I didn't keep the generated configure script or config.sub, config.guess
in source-control at that time -- it was too much diskspace -- times have
changed -- so I can't readily show the timeline of those changes to the
cross-compiling support in autoconf.

...at that time, I wasn't doing cross-compiles, but relied upon comments
by others, e.g., comments on mailing lists, and occasional fixes from
users.  Since this turned out to be a problem, I found how to set up
a cross-compiler a few months later.

https://invisible-island.net/personal/cross-mingw.html#cross_dev

...I don't have an arm cross-compiler, but with that change the mingw
cross-compiler does use the proper compiler -- and runs into a different
problem (basically lacks the workaround for missing termios support which
we added several years later).

You might not run into that sort of problem, but if you do, upgrading
might improve the odds of successfully building.
