	Hi;

	In /usr/include/curses.h, we see this mess:

#if (!defined(__cplusplus) || !1) && (!0)

#if 1   <----change me
#include <stdbool.h>
#endif

#undef bool

#if 1
#define bool NCURSES_BOOL
#else
typedef unsigned char bool;
#endif

#endif /* !__cplusplus, etc. */


	Change the '#if 1' at line 110 to '#if 0', and you can
merge gdb. I dont know what the right fix is; in gdb, bfd/bfd.h
has an enum that conflicts with the enum in stdbool.h (defining
'true' and 'false')
	Either curses.h needs to be smarter, or bfd-in.h needs
tuning.... ????

ps. if you change this to get gdb to merge, change it back, as I
have no idea how it would affect other things that want to use
curses...

Agh, this bug appears in ncurses snapshot as of recently, it wasn't
there in the main 5.2 release of ncurses. someone feel like fixing this?

	Hi;

	I just rsync'd and updated to ncurses-5.2-r5, and 
curses.h no longer includes stdbool.h, so it should be fixed.

so which ncurses package is newer?  5.2-r5 or 5.2.20020112a-r1?  emerge
wants to install 5.2.20020112a-r1

	Hi;

	Hmmm.
	5.2.20020112a-r1 is from april 5, and newer, however, my
profile is 'default-1.0', which has this line in packages:

<sys-libs/ncurses-5.2.20020112a

	'default-1.0_rc6' and other profiles do not have this
restriction, so I guess there may still be troubles for some,
and the real problem may not be fixed.

(if you need gdb to build, do what I said in my last post, or
add the line above to your /etc/make.profile/packages file, 
remerge ncurses, then gdb. Note: this will be overwritten when
you rsync.)
