This has been worked around in ncurses 5.9-3 by providing libtermcap.so
as an alias for libtinfo.so, so `configure' now finds -ltermcap.

This still holds, for glusterfs-server gets a spurious dependency on
libtinfo5 and, if libncurses5-dev is installed in the build environment,
also on libncurses5.
