[issue39020] [AIX] module _curses fails to build since ESCDELAY has been added

[Michael Felt]

Michael Felt <aixtools at felt.demon.nl> added the comment:

quote: Interesting, a comment in curses.h:

 * Notes:
 *	a. ESCDELAY was an undocumented feature under AIX curses.
 *	   It gives the ESC expire time in milliseconds.

iirc - that is a symbolic link to ncurses.h from ncurses-devel RPM package, not something from AIX itself.

On my test partitions - where I do not install RPMs, I do not have that comment. Likewise, I did see that comment on the gccfarm POWER8 provided by IBM (which has ncurses-devel installed, or I would have never known :) )
