Hey Benny!

 BP> ncurses 6.5 is hardmasked in gentoo currently

Probably won't matter much now that you've traced it.  Having said that, I 
prefer to stay current as possible.

 BP> so lets solve fmail without break gentoo :)

It compiles fine here without any jiggery-pokery so it is in your capable hands 
now that you know the real issue.  And yes I used the latest setup here with 
gcc-4.1.0/glibc-2.40 to test the compile.

Life is good,
Maurice
