        Hi;

        In /usr/include/curses.h, we see this mess:

#if (!defined(__cplusplus) || !1) && (!0)

#if 1   <----change me
#include <stdbool.h>
#endif

#undef bool

#if 1
#define bool NCURSES_BOOL
#else
typedef unsigned char bool;
#endif

#endif /* !__cplusplus, etc. */


        Change the '#if 1' at line 110 to '#if 0', and you can
merge gdb. I dont know what the right fix is; in gdb, bfd/bfd.h
has an enum that conflicts with the enum in stdbool.h (defining
'true' and 'false')
        Either curses.h needs to be smarter, or bfd-in.h needs
tuning.... ????

ps. if you change this to get gdb to merge, change it back, as I
have no idea how it would affect other things that want to use
curses...
