Where do you see that? Looking at configure I see the normal
ac_cv_prog_FOO / check FOO / fallback to program:

if test ${ac_cv_prog_NCURSESW6_CONFIG+y}
then :
  printf %s "(cached) " >&6
else $as_nop
  if test -n "$NCURSESW6_CONFIG"; then
  ac_cv_prog_NCURSESW6_CONFIG="$NCURSESW6_CONFIG" # Let the user override the test.
else
as_save_IFS=$IFS; IFS=$PATH_SEPARATOR
for as_dir in $PATH
do
  IFS=$as_save_IFS
  case $as_dir in #(((
    '') as_dir=./ ;;
    */) ;;
    *) as_dir=$as_dir/ ;;
  esac
    for ac_exec_ext in '' $ac_executable_extensions; do
  if as_fn_executable_p "$as_dir$ac_word$ac_exec_ext"; then
    ac_cv_prog_NCURSESW6_CONFIG="${ac_tool_prefix}ncursesw6-config"
    printf "%s\n" "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: found $as_dir$ac_word$ac_exec_ext" >&5
    break 2
  fi
done

What is the error you are seeing exactly?
