I commented out all of the logic in the makefile for Not-Windows:

#ifndef ON_WINDOWS
#   PREFIX  = i686-w64-mingw32-
#   ifdef _w64
#       PREFIX  = x86_64-w64-mingw32-
#   endif
#   ifdef _a64
#       PREFIX  = aarch64-w64-mingw32-
#   endif
#endif

and

#ifdef ON_WINDOWS
    config_curses$(E) -v -d.. $(CFLAGS)
#else
#   wine config_curses$(E) -v -d.. $(CFLAGS)
#endif
#   rm config_curses$(E)

It seems my uname started with MSYS_NT and not like MINGW, as expected. Then I followed Giorgos's instructions on How do I install PDCurses in Windows for use with C++? for step 2 and after. PDCursor got built and the hello-world is compiling and running. May no one else have to deal with this
