I tried to make this work a while ago and it's not practical. Instead,
we need to remove libncurses (or more likely replace it with a linker
script to cause libncursesw to be used.)
It should be the case that nothing in the base system uses libncurses,
but it's all too likely that someone has broken that since I switched
the remaining bits over.
