I believe I figured this out. On my system, the library is libncurses.so, not libcurses.so. I was only looking at the rpython traceback, not at the last gcc command run before the traceback was emitted. Once I ran that directly on the command line and saw its error message and figured out what was going on. I am not being entertained by the Mandelbrot set...
It seems that try_ldflags should also yield ExternalCompilationInfo instances where the main library is "ncurses", not "curses", and /usr/lib64 should be searched as well, at least by some of the ECI variants.
