I see that Steve is already helping you, but I will throw in my
thought quick:

that -lncurses is probably your problem. We don't have that in Solaris.
Since it doesn't fail to find it and instead does this:

I would guess you _do_ have ncurses installed on your system, and
gdb's configure found it. Perhaps it's older or newer than it wants
but it really shouldn't have found it. You need to build on a machine
without /opt/sfw or /usr/local or things in sfw might find bits they
shouldn't (either by ignoring the options passed, or because we need
to pass more like --without-ncurses perhaps, though I'm not sure
it accepts that - but since we don't build on machines with tons of
extra things installed that isn't always easy to find).
