Ebuild calls $(my_curses_version)5-config, which fails with this new major version. For my rebuild I just edited the ebuild to call [...]6-config, and compilation went fine, so this should probably updated to $major_ncurses-config

Just encountered the same. Attached is a workaround that determines the major version of ncurses installed, and then calls ncurses${CURSES_MAJOR}-config instead of always ncurses5-config. With this, I can emerge dev-perl/Curses and 'perl -MCurses -e 1' with sys-libs/ncurses-6.0 was installed. It should be backwards compatible for sys-libs/ncurses-5.x, but I have not tested that.

Comment on attachment 409116 [details, diff] Detect ncurses major version and run the correct -config command. it should be using $(tc-getPKG_CONFIG) instead of executing the config scripts
Making a guess for "c-config.h"... Choosing hints file 'hints/c-linux.ncurses.h' WARNING: Your Curses form.h file appears to be in the default system search path, which will not work for us because of the conflicting Perl form.h file. This means your 'make' will probably fail unless you fix this, as described in the INSTALL file. Should be quite trivial to fix this one.
Created attachment 409712 [details, diff] Curses-ncurses6.patch Even more trivial.
Fixed without revision bump.
