I'm still beating my head against the wall on this one.  I've got a
handfull of systems where gdb builds fine, and one where I suddenly
started getting the above error.

I've re-emerged ncurses (both with and without the tinfo USE flag).

I've verified that the USE flags for ncurses and gdb are the same as
on systems where gdb builds OK.

The gcc and binutils versions are also the same.

revdep-rebuild seems to be happy.
