Re: GDB 5.0.1?
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2000-07/msg00038.html
Is the Solaris 8 x86 problem fixed? When you configure it, configure
incorrectly determines that I have no curses.h. This causes mucho
compilation errors later on.
Simply editing the config.h to define CURSES_H fixes the problem, and
then the build works fine.
The status for this problem:
Solaris 8 x86 (PIII-560)
gcc 2.95.2
I had the same problem with several of the snapshots shortly before
5.0 became official, and 5.0 has the same problem.
I sent some mail in about it long ago, and never saw a reply.
I haven't had time to figure it out myself, especially since I get all
confused trying to figure out what configure does, I was happy to find
the workaround.

Solaris 8 x86 CURSES_H problem
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2000-07/msg00038.html
The original problem was worked around with:
2000-06-06 Michael Snyder <msnyder@cygnus.com>
* configure.in: Enable autoconf to find curses.h on Solaris 2.8.
* configure: Regenerate.
When building both GDB and SID using the same source tree the problem
will still occure. sid/component/configure.in mis-configures
<curses.h> and leaves wrong information in the config cache.
