I'd try this:

--with-screen=ncursesw6

I mentioned that in the INSTALLATION file for lynx:

        For the ncurses/ncursesw options, the script also accepts variants
        such as "ncursesw6", which helps it to find a specific ncurses config
        script.

since if you have ncurses6, it's going to be the wide-character flavor
anyway.
