patched ncurses-5.3 build failure (was: Re: broken ncurses patch found in http://sources.redhat.com/ml/crossgcc/2003-09/msg00009.html)

Hi Dan;

  Thank you for your help.  I'm much closer now.  Now there are Ada sample 
file compilation errors in the ncurses build, perhaps due to a patch error 
(?) So hopefully some response from the ncurses subscribers soon about what I 
did wrong.

Thanks,
Ken
