term.h present but cannot be compiled

[Christopher Sean Morrison]

Running our configure test check for the term.h header on IRIX 6.5 
results in:

checking term.h usability... no
checking term.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: term.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: term.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: term.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##
configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to address@hidden ##
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##

This is a script generated from 2.57 -- haven't checked 2.59, etc.  
While I can't give you our complete config.log for release reasons, I 
can share the failing section test for term.h.  The warning appears 
valid, with bool and a slew of other defines assumedly coming from some 
other header.. the loud configure seems to make the case that configure 
should have somehow known that?  Hope it's of use to someone, 
regardless.

Cheers!
Sean
