It didn't need that > about a week ago. I guess that's because of this change: 99649: Eli Zaretskii 2010-03-12 Don't use termcap.c on Posix platforms I'm sorry for the breakage this caused. In my defense I can only say that it "worked for me" on GNU/Linux. At the time this issue was discussed, I published the list of changes needed to stop using termcap.c on Posix platforms, based on what's been said during the discussion, see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-12/msg00276.html No one said anything else should be done. Feel free to add the missing pieces to the configury to fix this.
