Building with curses is, according to Paul Eggert:
"Completely broken" in the sense it won't link and Emacs won't build,
yes. (It will link in master, due to a patch I installed recently.)
And yes, the original curses library has been obsolete for at least two
decades.
See the discussion here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2021-01/msg00416.html
The conclusion from that thread AFAIU is that support for curses
should be removed. (We should keep ncurses though.)
