Unable to build ncurses 6.0 with PGI 16.5

[Stewart, Adam James]

Hi,

I'm trying to build ncurses 6.0 with the PGI 16.5 compiler but it crashes during `make` with the following error message:

PGC-S-0239-Unmatched #else (../ncurses/expanded.c: 61)
PGC-S-0240-Unmatched #endif (../ncurses/expanded.c: 63)
PGC/x86-64 Linux 16.5-0: compilation completed with severe errors
make[1]: *** [../obj_s/expanded.o] Error 2

The preprocessors from this file look like:

$ grep -n '^#' ncurses/expanded.c
2:#define NEED_NCURSES_CH_T 1
3:#include <curses.priv.h>
5:#ifndef CUR
6:#define CUR SP_TERMTYPE
7:#endif
9:#if NCURSES_EXPANDED
15:# 17 "gen81197.c"
21:# 23 "gen81197.c"
27:# 29 "gen81197.c"
33:# 35 "gen81197.c"
38:# 38 "gen81197.c"
41:# 41 "gen81197.c"
42:# if_NCURSES_SP_FUNCS
48:# 48 "gen81197.c"
54:# 54 "gen81197.c"
60:# endif
61:#else /* ! NCURSES_EXPANDED */
63:#endif /* NCURSES_EXPANDED */

I can provide you with the entire file or any config logs if you want.
