gcc using the wrong ldfile for system llibrary

I am tryin to compile an opensource project for ARM (Xvisor) but apparently gcc is using the wrong ldfile to link the library libncurse indeed when I compile, I got the following error: 

/usr/gnat/bin/../libexec/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/6.3.1/ld: cannot find libncurses.so.5

And ldconfig seems to have the library in it

ldconfig -p | grep "curse"
libncursesw.so.5 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncursesw.so.5
libncurses.so.5 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so.5
libncurses.so.5 (libc6) => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libncurses.so.5
libncurses.so.5 (libc6) => /lib32/libncurses.so.5

I don't understand why gcc is using the gnat ldfile instead of the system ldfile.

Try to reinstall build-essential package

sudo apt-get remove build-essential && sudo apt-get install build-essential

/usr/gnat is not the main directory for the system library

The solution was that Makefile was using gcc tool instead of the cross compile gcc:arm-eabi-gcc
