That's odd. On a modern Linux system I would expect the build

Well, I had a fight with that problem a few years ago. Maybe it then
was under cygwin but I think the problem remains the same. Whether or
not we prefer terminfo if it is there I'm not sure but I fear we do.
Maybe it is time now to remove support of termcap? As you say all
modern systems ought to have terminfo or ncurses.
I think you should check to make sure you have relevant TTY support
(including dev packages) such as n?curses.
The workaround I have used when this issue pops up is to install
ncurses. We prefer that to termcap when it is available.
