Alan reported this too (under cygwin).  It works ok for me.
Incidentally, libncurses isn't really required here, but
the build dependency system needs to be a lot more complex
to handle all the situations.

Anyway, you might need to do some shell debugging here.  If
you can find the invocation of MKfallback.sh, change it
to "sh -ex", which should give you some trace.  My best
guess is that you're missing some host tool, but I couldn't
say what.

It should be sufficient to cd into the libncurses directory
and run /home/jjvdgeer/env/ro-make (assuming configure
completed).

And apart from that, it seems the latest libglib2.0 needs
its patches updated - but if you can fix the above, then
that should be trivial ;-)
