Taking a look at the i386, I see that as you hinted cc==clang.
That's okay. But there's an error in OpenBSD's header files which
I'll have to work around for the time being. It would be nice
if someone fixed it:
/usr/include/ctype.h has
#if __POSIX_VISIBLE >= 200809
#ifndef _LOCALE_T_DEFINED_
#define _LOCALE_T_DEFINED_
typedef void *locale_t;
#endif
#endif
and (since ncurses uses no feature newer than this) my default build
does this:
-D_BSD_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=600
which produces this error:
compiling cursesmain (obj_s)
In file included from ../c++/cursesmain.cc:39:

because the locale_t use from iostream is improperly ifdef'd.
