Without it, the following breaks:

# cat conftest.c 
int main() { return 0; }
# gcc -o conftest conftest.c -ltermcap                                      
# ldd conftest
        libtermcap.so.2 => not found
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x210b4000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x21097000)

Marking critical because this is in stable x86 and blocks postgres from emerging.

Fixed in 2.0.8-r1

Not sure if this is appropriate here but I had trouble compiling vim because of
/lib not being in /etc/ld.so.conf -- and so it could not find libtermcap.so.2
at runtime linking.
