Yeah -- looks like a bug in the makefile.  Since ruby is trying to build
an extension dll that provides the ncurses-ruby interface, that dll must
be fully resolved (no unresolved external references).  This file,
ruby/ext/curses/curses.c, clearly depends on ncurses -- but the dllwrap
command doesn't include a link reference to libncurses.  Try adding
'-lncurses' to the dllwrap command line.
