As a work around, can you try deleting the #include <term.h>?

(4/19 is the ``-D 2000-04-19-gmt -r gdb_5_0-2000-04-10-branch''
snapshot)

I'm somewhat puzzled.  The only change to utils.c post branch was:

cagney@b1.cygnus.com$ cvs diff -p -r gdb_5_0-2000-04-10-branchpoint -r
gdb_5_0-2000-05-19-release utils.c

There has been another report of a system having problems with:

#ifdef HAVE_CURSES_H
#include <curses.h>
#endif
#ifdef HAVE_TERM_H
#include <term.h>
#endif

but that was tracked down to a scrambled /usr/include directory.  On
your system, which of these headers are installed and where (check
$builddir/gdb/config.h)?
