Otherwise if terminfo.c is compiled with -fno-common (GCC 10 and clang
11 default) and the archive version of the terminfo library is linked,
there will be a multiple definition linker error.
* src/terminfo.c (UP, BC, PC): Delete.

Given the comment there, I think this should be conditioned on
actually using terminfo. Does the following patch work for you?

Looks great! Thanks!
One nit,
#if !TERMINFO
probably should be
#ifndef TERMINFO
I don't know whether it is worth mentioning that -fcommon/-fno-common does not
cause a linker error when libtinfo.so is linked (a common/regular definition
preempts a shared definition).
-fno-common + libtinfo.a => multiple definition error

Thanks, installed for Emacs 27.2.

That's the same thing with modern compilers.

OK, but the change works even in these other cases, right?

Yep! The new code should work in other cases, -fcommon/-fno-common x
libtinfo.a/libtinfo.so
