	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.)
