Fixincludes has given me grief in the past so I purposely disable it. So
that is definitely not the problem here.

You should be able to reproduce the bug by moving the system installed
ncurses_dll.h out of the way temporarily:-

  mv /usr/include/ncurses_dll.h /usr/include/ncurses_dll.h.XXX

or something..

I'm building up new systems inside a chroot and hence noticed the problem
when comparing the headers from a system with an already installed ncurses
to the new one inside my chroot.
