'echo' is missing in the line you added.
So, the error message will be displayed like follows:



 *** Unable to find the ncurses libraries or the
 *** required header files.
 *** 'make menuconfig' requires the ncurses libraries.
 ***
 *** Install ncurses (ncurses-devel or libncurses-dev   1>&2
           *** depending on your distribution) and try again.
 ***




I fixed it up locally, and applied to linux-kbuild/kconfig.
Thanks!
