Message:

ncurses: Use symlinks instead of linker scripts

The effect will not change, but with symlinks ld can save some time
invoking open(), read(), etc. syscalls and parsing the linker scripts.

Note that I've also removed "libcursesw" symlink because this library
has never existed. Instead libcurses.so is created as a symlink
direct to libncursesw.so.
