Got these errors trying to build latest ncurses on my system, so

There are no files in the tarball, repo, or build dirs containing 7.4.0
Those paths come from /usr/bin/libtool. There's some discussion of this
issue in
https://mingw-users.narkive.com/Mx8FQPRf/libtool-hard-coded-paths ,
which even mentions the ncurses problem. I don't know enough about
libtool to suggest the best solution, but probably others on the list do.
Thanks Ken,
That's the source of the symptom indeed!
The package ncurses is pre-auto-tooled in that it appears to have
everything setup so that configure reconfigs everything and generates
the expected outputs.
Now should I patch /usr/bin/libtool, libtoolize the sources,
cygautoreconf, or upgrade libtool?
Anyone have any ideas for the best approach?
Or just go for it and try each in turn in case something works?
