configure --enable-widec does not build libncursesw.so

[Stewart, Adam James]

I'm trying to build a program (htop) that requires the libncursesw.so library. My understanding is that by default, ncurses builds libncurses.so. If you pass the "--enable-widec" flag to configure, it instead builds libncursesw.so. However, when I build ncurses with this flag, I still don't get the libncursesw.so libraries. What am I doing wrong?

I've been able to reproduce this on 2 different machines (CentOS 6 and Fedora 25) with 2 different compilers (Intel 17.0.2 and GCC 6.3.0). Let me know if you need any additional information to debug this.
