...which says that it's failing to construct the panel library,
but doesn't tell us whether the problem is in the ".o" files used
for panel, or if there's some problem in the ncurses library.

(I've built 6.5 with several configurations including Solaris 10 sparc with cc,
and Intel with an older version of gcc)

The source (.c) for panel didn't change between 6.4 and 6.5
There were several changes to ncurses library, of course.
(Sometimes I improve the use of const in tables, but don't recall
offhand where that might be relevant).

The default configuration did change from normal to widechar.

If you can bisect and pinpoint a change which produces the problem,
that would be helpful.  (The change between normal/widechar is
a large change, which would take additional discussion).
