Only approach that worked was to write a script to update 
/usr/bin/libtool to latest /usr/lib/gcc/$HOSTTYPE-*-$OSTYPE/[0-9]* path, 
add to SRC_URI, and run at the start of src_compile:

https://cygwin.com/git/?p=git/cygwin-packages/ncurses.git;a=tree;hb=playground

https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/jobs.cgi?id=3533&srcpkg=ncurses&status=succeeded&user=Brian+Inglis

https://github.com/cygwin/scallywag/actions/runs/1459727318

https://github.com/cygwin/scallywag/suites/4351117248/logs?attempt=1

I will make this an ITA to update ncurses if there are no better 
alternatives suggested to the unconventional approach.
I will then look at how to build the mingw64-*86*-ncurses versions and 
ITA those.
