the problem is with curses.h in libncurses5-dev. it redefines ERR and
as such it conflicts with the definition from the glibc headers. this
was the same problem noticed in dpkg 1.6.10. i just commented out the
redefinition of ERR in /usr/include/curses.h and then the X package
compiled just fine. i am sure the proper solution is the one used in
dpkg-1.6.11 though.
