Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au> observes about my long guile-1.6.6
build-problem report:

On many architectures, shared libraries must be compiled with special
compiler options to generate position-independent code (-fpic, -fPIC,
-kPIC, and -kpic are common names for these options), whereas ordinary
load libraries don't need that feature, which sometimes involves extra
instructions for data access.
It may well be that is what is happening here: extracting
lib_termcap.o from libncurses.a is producing mixed data-access
conventions, causing the linker error.
