You'd have to do two builds (one for libncurses, one for libncursesw).
Something like

        configure --with-shared --without-normal --without-debug \
                && make \
                && make install.libs
        make distclean
        configure --enable-widec --with-shared --without-normal --without-debug 
\
                && make \
                && make install.libs
