BTW: what do you like to achieve?

Do you know that -ltermcap on Solaris does not give you a real termcap library
but a termcap emulation using terminfo?

If you like to check whether your binaries would work with a real termcap 
library, you could test with with libxtermcap from the schily source bundle at:

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily/

compile with smake LINKMODE=dynamic if you like to get dynamic libs.

But note that this does not check for 100% termcap compatibility as libxtermcap 
supports arbitrary entry sizes in case you supply a NULL pointer for the entry 
buffer.
