 I recommend closing this bug as a user error.
 /usr/include is a *system* include directory.
 Packages should not be installed with their
 prefixes set to /usr.  If you do, then you must
 either figure out how to rerun fixincludes (left as
 an exercise for the reader), or reinstall GCC.
 You pick.

System: Linux jsberg1 2.2.18 #1 SMP Mon Dec 18 15:52:57 EST 2000 i686 unknown
Architecture: i686

	
host: i686-pc-linux-gnu
build: i686-pc-linux-gnu
target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
configured with: ../gcc-3.0/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc-3.0
>Description:
  when gcc-3.0 was built, ncurses-5.1 was installed.  The build
  felt the need to create
  /opt/gcc-3.0/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.0/include/ncurses.h
  nurses was subsequently updated to 5.2, and now it doesn't work
  since the ncurses.h file that gcc installed is incompatable with the
  ncurses.h include files that were installed with ncurses-5.2.
>How-To-Repeat:
  Install ncurses 5.1 with /usr prefix
  Install gcc-3.0
  Install ncurses 5.2 with /usr prefix
  Create a file with the single line
#include <ncurses.h>
  Compile with
  gcc -c test.c
  The result is
In file included from /opt/gcc-3.0/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.0/include/ncurses.h:86,
                 from test00.c:1:
/usr/include/unctrl.h:57: parse error before "unctrl"

	
>Fix:
  Remove ncurses.h and curses.h that gcc-3.0 installed.
