Building gdb without ncursesw?

Hi all;

Is there a way to force gdb to build against ncurses, not ncursesw,
even if ncursesw headers/libraries do exist on the system?

The problem with ncursesw is that not all distributions put it onto the
system by default (everyone has ncurses by default) so if I compile GDB
against ncursesw then I have to get everyone to install extra packages.

There's really no need (that I can see) for ncursesw since we just
always uses utf8 all the time for everything.

But, I can't find any configure option or even cache setting I can use
to force the use of ncurses.

Cheers!
