Plenty of packages assume that curses library ships with terminfo 
support.
Most don't even bother to look for libtinfo, let alone libterminfo.

tmux correctly doesn't pull in curses.buildin.mk3 because it doesn't use 
curses itself.
However, tmux only looks inside terminfo or curses for a terminfo 
implementation.

I think the problem was with your recent commit that removed the curses 
library if not using curses for terminfo.
