change "--with-shared" to "--disable-shared" in the configure command of the ~/buildroot/package/ncurses/ncurses.mk . You will need to removed the so (shared object) building.

The uClinux-dist (-test) has ncurses lib too. You'd better use this one, which is ported to uClinux. Check the library selection.

As a general rule, when you need lib or apps, check the uClinux-dist first.

Most lib or apps ports in buildroot are shared objects, which is not supported in current nios2.

You have to modify the mk files to remove shared.
