Ok, thanks.

Ouch. Since the generated files cover headers from other packages
(ncurses, X11, zlib and probably others) this is somewhat less than
ideal. Are the generated files essential for proper operation? If so,
the tools for fixing the header files should really be installed, don't
you think? Otherwise one would have to rebuild gcc whenever ncurses is
updated - shiver.

Yes, thank you very much.
