Aha.  Bash used to pull in libncurses9 by default, but now it pulls in
libncursesw10.  This is a setup.hint issue; bc was listing libncurses8
instead of libncurses9.  I've updated the hint on cygwin's site, but the
maintainer needs to fix it locally for the next time bc is updated
(which hopefully is sooner than later, since even libncurses9 is out of
date).
