I looked a little more closely, and on SuSE 10.1, there is no -ltermcap
and that works fine. At least on my system.

I also noticed from the logs above that only the vvp32 link failed.
that suggests that you may be missing some of the 32bit devel libs.
On my system, it is part of readline-devel-32bit.

So try adding readlib-devel and readline-devel-32bit to the
BuildRequires list.
