To explain the error you were getting, your log has configure: WARNING: Could not find a terminal library among tinfo ncurses curses termlib termcap terminfo
which explains the linking error you get at the end. I think info (texinfo) should just become a pre-req for all the systems we support (just as well as g++ and gfortran, by the way), and not something one might get into building from source for the only reason that it's not installed, and get stuck. There is 0 value digging out more details on this and adjusting build scripts accordingly, possibly (re)introducting curses or another equally cursed package into Sage deps. A recent fight over these issues happened on https://github.com/sagemath/sage/pull/36726 (and I was shouted down - as the enemy had the numbers on that occasion) But I am ready for a re-match...
