I've put together an updated set of patches, to investigate this (starting with 
an rpm from
February 16).

By the way, there is a compiler warning indicating a problem with
one of your patches:

        ../ncurses/./tinfo/lib_setup.c: In function '_nc_setupterm':
        ../ncurses/./tinfo/lib_setup.c:672:3: warning: passing argument 2 of 
'_nc_copy_termtype' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type 
[enabled by default]
        /usr/local/ncurses/include/ncurses/term_entry.h:153:29: note: expected 
'struct TERMTYPE *' but argument is of type 'const struct TERMTYPE *'

Also, just building the unmodified rpm, I ran into a problem where the
libtic.so seemed to be corrupted (unsure of that).  It was after the slice of
build-log which you quoted, so it might be a related problem.  This is using
OpenSUSE 12.1 64-bit.

Just as I'm writing this, I got the updated patches to build - will debug it
this evening.
