On both mainline and the 8.0 branch, gdb compilation fails on Solaris 10
with the native libcurses in gdb/tui for several instances of the same problem:
/vol/src/gnu/gdb/gdb-8.0-branch/local/gdb/tui/tui-winsource.c: In function `void tui_erase_source_content(tui_win_info*, int)':
/vol/src/gnu/gdb/gdb-8.0-branch/local/gdb/tui/tui-winsource.c:257:18: error: invalid conversion from `const char*' to `char*' [-fpermissive]
no_src_str);

make[2]: *** [Makefile:1927: tui-winsource.o] Error 1
Unlike ncurses, <curses.h> declares
extern int mvwaddstr(WINDOW *, int, int, char *);
i.e. the last arg is char *, not const char *.
The patch fixes this by casting the last arg to mvwaddstr to char *,
as was recently done on mainline in a newterm() call (the only
difference between 8.0 and mainline gdb/tui).
* tui/tui-windata.c (tui_erase_data_content): Cast last mvwaddstr
arg to char *.
* tui/tui-wingeneral.c (box_win): Likewise.
* tui/tui-winsource.c (tui_erase_source_content): Likewise.
(tui_show_source_line): Likewise.
(tui_show_exec_info_content): Likewise.
