The missing DLL is provided by the "libncurses8" Cygwin package. This is
normally installed as a dependency of one of the other Cygwin packages
required for eCos development. Regardless, you should be able to add the
package to your existing Cygwin installation using the Cygwin setup tool.

There is a more recent test release of the eCos arm-eabi GNU tools. Ref:
