Indeed, it's worked for a long time, but you need to disable the C++
interfaces if you don't have a working C++ toolchain. I don't think
the configure script does this by default. Actually ncurses has A LOT
of broken options by default which you need to fix when running
configure; for instance, it does not support UTF-8 unless you use
--enable-wide or something like that.

This is another issue: the installation paths and filenames. I don't
know the right option to make ncurses install itself as the default
curses library...
