Yes - the message seems to indicate that /usr/local/bin/sed is linked with 
ncurses (why I don't know since "sed" should live in /usr/bin and not have 
a dependency upon ncurses).  You've replaced the libncurses symbolic link 
so it points to the library as compiled by libtool.

Checking - rerunning that build, I see that the problem is (something I 
have recently on my to-do list to review) that the ncurses library is 
configured to split-out the terminfo stuff as a separate library.  That 
means that applications linked with -lncurses won't handle the combined 
-lncurses -ltinfo which is needed in your configuration.  In the options 
list, that's done by the --with-termlib option.
