two details:
        a) there's a typo in your patch (should be HAVE_GETATTRS, not
           HAVE_GETATTR), and

        b) the only case I knew that I was fixing was for ncurses' use
           of the legacy getattrs() macro (or function) versus the
           X/Open wattr_get().  That's for some implementations which
           have an incorrect prototype for it.

Looking right now, it seems that the fix would be to remove the last
part of the ifdef - where it says "|| !defined(NCURSES_MAJOR_VERSION)".
(That would break some very old ncurses versions, but nothing else that
I can think of).
