[gentoo-user] Error building ncurses

[Robin Kauffman]

Hi-
I recently tried recompiling my system with 'emerge -e world', but
ncurses won't build.  The relevant output is:
cd ../obj_s;  /usr/bin/g++ -I../c++ -I../include
-I/var/tmp/portage/ncurses-5.4-r6/work/ncurses-5.4/c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
-I/var/tmp/portage/ncurses-5.4-r6/work/ncurses-5.4/c++/../include -I.
-I../include  -D_GNU_SOURCE -DNDEBUG -O2 -xB -march=pentiumii -fPIC
-c /var/tmp/portage/ncurses-5.4-r6/work/ncurses-5.4/c++/demo.cc

The reason I'm recompiling is I'm trying to get my system compiled with
ICC.  I followed the instructions at the gentoo Wiki
(http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ICC_and_Portage ), including adding
ncurses to /etc/portage/package.gcc, so it should be trying to compile
with GCC (and therefore this shouldn't be an ICC problem).  Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
