"two patches" doesn't sound right.  I have a few versions of the rollup
patches at
        ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/5.3/
which covers (mostly) weekly patches since last October.

The rollup patch includes this item, which is probably what you're
reporting:

20030215
        + add configure check for wchar_t and wint_t types, rather than rely
          on preprocessor definitions.  Also work around for gcc fixinclude
          bug which creates a shadow copy of curses.h if it sees these symbols
          apparently typedef'd.
