   That means glibc 2.1 is unusable with curses. Anyone who wants to use
   it will have to patch it. Even if you don't want to make a new release
   just for it, the glibc 2.1 in CVS should be fixed.

Huh?  By unusable you mean that if you #define _GNU_SOURCE you'll get
a *warning* about ERR being redefined?
