That's because it's attempting to run the build-tree's version of tic,
but loading the system copy of ncurses libraries.  The newer tic uses
additional symbols not found in the system's ncurses libraries.

You can work around that either by using the rpath option (e.g.,
--enable-rpath during the configure), or by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH
in the environment used for this install.

Since you're not installing as root, that latter should be easy.

Something like this would work:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/users/chansen/build/gsrc/pkg/gnu/ncurses/work/ncursesw-6.3-20220312-build/lib
 make

But if you're planning to _use_ the programs in ~/gsrc/, something more
persistent is needed.
