Build failure with GCC 5.2. while compile ncurses-6.0 I am not programmer and not sure, where is root of issue.

But I have investigate error message and found patch there ​https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ncurses/2015-08/msg00024.html

With patch and new source pack from site compilation completed pretty OK

Please, look over and may be need update manual.

This is not the place to ask for help when you run into a problem. Ask on the mailing list lfs-support.

I'll note here however that there should be no reference to debian or dpkg when building ncurses.
