That's the problem. You need those libraries for arm, too, to
cross-compile screen for arm. Those ncurses libraries for x86 or
x86_64 are only needed if you would compile it for your local system.

I don't know on which distribution you are, but 
https://wiki.debian.org/CrossCompiling also has some distribution
independent information. Maybe this already helps.

                Kind regards, Axel
