[Compile Issue] ncurses 6.4+ on NonStop x86 in configure

[rsbecker]

Hi Thomas,

I have a request. In trying to build wide-char on HPE NonStop x86, I found
an
Issue in their header files and I cannot work around easily from this end.
The
following patch would address the incompatibility between c11 and c11++. It
comes down to the use of intptr_t. Would this patch be possible to integrate
into configure? It is an old issue, but 6.4 is the first time I have tried
to do this
in many years.

Thanks,
Randall
