debug/gdb: Fix compilation for Mingw hosts

GDB requires PDcurses instead of ncurses while running on Windows.
So, do not always compile ncurses in case GDB needs to build.

PDcurses is provided by an earlier build step and is not described in
this file.

     1 Original patch from H.J. Lu, as reported there:

     4 fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.
     5 The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
