errors building python 2.7.3

Hi!

I've tried to build Python 2.7.3rc2 on cygwin and got the following errors:

$ CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/ncursesw/ CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/ncursesw/ ./configure

Then tried to see if the problem is sovled, fetched the source from
https://bitbucket.org/python_mirrors/releasing-2.7.3 and got another one:
