You need libtermcap and its sources.  According to the Debian documentation,
the best way to get these nowadays is to install the ncurses libraries and
sources.

I've found that when I install the ncurses source (Debian ncurses-dev
package), the gdb configure script makes the proper adjustments and gdb
builds and runs properly.
