it's because 5.7's configure is using --with-ticlib which is 
incompatible with --enable-termcap.
On ubuntu, it seems they simply do the following links :
usr/lib/libncurses.so usr/lib/libtermcap.so
usr/lib/libncurses.a  usr/lib/libtermcap.a

5.7 is also broken for sdk build, I'm currently trying to fix this, I've 
add the link and tested asterisk's build, patch is coming.
