My toolchain *already* has wchar support yet the ncursesw library
is not built (at least over here). It seems like you need to enable it
*explicitly*.

The problem under discussion is that ncurses' --enable-widec option
prevents the non-wide (aka libncurses.so) library from being built.

Hope it's clear now.
