Was libncurses built for the MinGW target on the Cygwin host?

Keep in mind that this job is a cross compile, so ncurses and every
other dependency must be built for the MinGW runtime.  The mingw-* and
mingw64-* packages for Cygwin are just the toolchain plus some
essentials; there is no mingw-libncurses-devel package in
distribution.

Unless there is a specific reason to cross through Cygwin, it could be
easier to use the native MinGW environment directly:

* http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started

And link against the ncurses redistributable:

* http://invisible-mirror.net/ncurses/ncurses.html
