I can ignore ncursesw issues for now but what is configure trying
to do with python here:

-----------------
# Check for Python

  { printf "%s\n" "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking for python build information" >&5
printf %s "checking for python build information... " >&6; }

then :
  printf %s "(cached) " >&6
else case e in #(

  ac_cv_prog_PYTHON_BIN="$PYTHON_BIN" # Let the user override the test.
