run: nm -B /usr/lib/libncurses.so | grep delwin

and see if it comes up with something along the lines of:
12345 T delwin

1     2  3
1: doesn't matter, just the location in the file
2: should be T meaning it is in the TEXT of the library file
3: is just the name of the function that library contains.

If it does, then just add -lncurses to the end of the line that fails 
to compile, and it will probably do the trick.  if it doesn't, yeah 
skip it, you can live without gdialog.
