I stand corrected, it needs only termcap.
I have built gdb on systems without curses or termcap development
libraries installed (i686-pc-linux-gnu even!) and gdb would not link
until I brought in some version of termcap and linked against it.
I happened to use ncurses 5.3 to satisfy that requirement and that's
I'm thinking "needs curses".
