Re: Bug building with glibc 2.2

[Alan Eldridge]

dan, 

it's *not* just ncurses. i just tonight ran into the same bug (except it was
struct fpos vs an integer type) trying to build the PalmOS emulator on Linux
with glibc-2.2 and gcc-2.95.3. looks related to glibc-2.2 on the surface.
i'll know more once i've had a chance to delve into the code and sort it
out... probably tomorrow.
