Ditto for the subject, as for your previous patch.

Long-line. Also, this expands the `...` in the shell, not in the Makefile.
I'd rather have the expansion be done by the Makefile:

HOSTLOADLIBES_nconf	= -lmenu -lpanel
HOSTLOADLIBES_nconf	+= $(shell    ncursesw5-config --libs 2>/dev/null \
				   || ncurses5-config --libs 2>/dev/null  )
