gcc-5.0.0 chokes on trying to compile ncurses-5.9

[Robert P. J. Day]

  i ran across this issue trying to build a basic linux image with
yocto project and asked about it here:

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.openembedded.core/60488

but i just verified that i get the same error trying to build
ncurses-5.9 on my fully-updated rawhide system.  here's my gcc:

$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 5.0.0 20150208 (Red Hat 5.0.0-0.10)
Copyright (C) 2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.  There is NO

  and here's the output from doing an absolutely stock configure and
make with the pristine ncurses-5.9 source:

$ make

... snip ...

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../ncurses -I.  -D_GNU_SOURCE -DNDEBUG -I.
-I../include -O2 --param max-inline-insns-single=1200 -c
../ncurses/lib_gen.c -o ../objects/lib_gen.o
_1736.c:835:22: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘int’
Makefile:790: recipe for target '../objects/lib_gen.o' failed
make[1]: *** [../objects/lib_gen.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/rpjday/Downloads/ncurses-5.9/ncurses'
Makefile:109: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

  this appears to coincide with the arrival of gcc-5.0.0. thoughts?
