For backward compatibility, we intended to ship libtermcap.a and
libtermlib.a as links to libcurses.a so that old makefiles would work.
While we succeeded in accomplishing this challenging (;-) goal for our
Series 300 machines, we flunked the test on the 800!  I can only
apologize and tell you that the problem has already been identified and
solved in the upcoming release.  In the mean time, you may create the
link yourself.

Secondly, /etc/termcap is no longer used by any of our libraries.  We
did ship it previously on some systems even after we converted over to
System V's terminfo technology, mostly as a reference.  It is no longer
shipped.  We do ship a command called untic which may be used to derive
the termcap-like source for the terminfo files.  See untic(1M).

3rd, I can't find any reference to ospeed in libcurses.  Are you sure
that it results from curses(3X) functions in your application?
