I've tried emerging sys-libs/ncurses-5.5-r03.2 on sun/sparc/solaris 10, and I didn't get the problem. Your error message looks weird to me, the /usr is missing from the start considering your prefix, it seems... How is the image dir looking like? (e.g. find $EPREFIX/var/tmp/sys-libs/ncurses-5.5*/image)

As a workaround I did a new bootstrap to /gentoo and that works.
I can't reproduce this "bug" on my Solaris boxes. Bug can probably be closed, looks like $EPREFIX might have been set wrong in the original post?
Can't reproduce, does it still happen with the latest bootstrap script and image?
this looks like it is the same bug that hit us, because the EPREFIX contains /usr in it, where a too greedy sed gets confused. I think this bug has been fixed.
