Well, even if you didn't disable static libs -- the dynamically-linked binary that you're running ldd against won't pick up any .a files. You'd have to be able to relink it for that file to help. Since the existing instructions for re-pointing the compiler at the lib*w.* files didn't help you, I assume this program must be binary-only, and not built from source. Same reason that copying /usr/lib/libncurses.so to a different file didn't help -- the .so and .a files are both used only by ld, at build time, not by /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (for 32-bit) or by /lib64/ld-linux-x86_64.so.2 (for 64-bit), at runtime. (Those don't accept linker scripts, for one, only ELF files, and the filenames they look for are determined by the various DT_NEEDED sections in the binary or other libraries.)
