Sorry to correct you, but with copying bash.exe to /bin/sh you forced
configure to use *bash*, not *ash* !!
Perhaps you started configure with "ash ./configure", but nevertheless
all subsequent calls to "sh" got bash from /bin/sh !
In fact it is enough to copy bash.exe to /bin/sh to succeed in
configuring ncurses-4.1.

Bye.
Michael.
