-Fix GCC 5.x preprocessor failure
+Fix gcc 5.x build failure
 
-Building ncurses 5.9 with GCC 5.x fails with a syntax error, caused by
-earlier preprocessing. This failure is more likely when building for
-host (e.g. host-ncurses) that recently updated to GCC 5.x.
+Extracted from upstream commit
+http://ncurses.scripts.mit.edu/?p=ncurses.git;a=commit;h=97bb4678dc03e753290b39bbff30ba2825df9517.
 
-This patch is taken from the following link (more information is also
-available here):
