RE: Unable to build ncurses 6.0 with PGI 16.5

[Stewart, Adam James]

Thomas,

Here are all of the resulting *PID* files from the ncurses directory. Note that 
no configure options were used to generate this error message. I simply ran:

CC=pgcc CXX=pgc++ ./configure
make

That expanded.c isn't much use.  When I debug this part, I modify
the script that generates it, e.g.,

diff -u -r1.56 ncurses/base/MKlib_gen.sh
--- ncurses/base/MKlib_gen.sh   2017/01/07 16:02:47     1.56

 ALL=$USE
 if test "$USE" = implemented ; then

and examine the generated files (the *PID* in the ncurses directory).
