 It should probably also include termcap.buildlink3.mk for the terminfo
 case.
 
 For that matter, it may be sufficient to include termcap.buildlink3.mk
 unconditionally on all platforms - it is supposed to be able to
 provide termcap/terminfo with ncurses if that's what's available.
 
 Is there any functionality difference between the terminfo and ncurses
 builds, or is it just selecting which libraries to put on the link
 line?
