[meta-intel] menuconfig not working with rocko branch and linux-intel

[Max Halldén]

Sure, but it's really not much. I can reproduce it with poky
and meta-intel at rocko branch with almost no change to the
default configuration.

If I diff meta-poky/conf/local.conf.sample to my local.conf I get:
38c38
< MACHINE ??= "qemux86"
---
 > MACHINE = "intel-corei7-64"

and same for meta-poky/conf/bblayers.conf.sample and my bblayers.conf:
<   ##OEROOT##/meta \
<   ##OEROOT##/meta-poky \
<   ##OEROOT##/meta-yocto-bsp \
---

 >   /home/max/projects/menuconfigtest/poky/meta-intel \

Originally I built with the crops/poky:ubuntu-16.04 docker
image, but I can also reproduce it natively on my Ubuntu
17.10 machine.

But I think I found a workaround at least. Installing
libncurses5-dev on the build host solves the problem so
that's probably why you can't reproduce it.

Still, libncurses5-dev is not needed when setting
MACHINE='qemux86' instead of intel-corei7-64, which seems
weird.

Thanks,
Max
