PPS are you sure this is an issue, because later on we see:

case "$opsys" in
  aix4-2|cygwin|hpux*|irix6-5|openbsd|sol2*|unixware) TERMINFO=yes ;;
  [...]
esac

[...]

if test $TERMINFO = yes; then
   [...]
   test "x$LIBS_TERMCAP" = "x" && LIBS_TERMCAP="-lcurses"
   [...]
fi

As a test, I built 24.0.90 on Solaris and indeed it linked to libcurses
and not libtermcap.
