gcc can't find termcap library

[danny@maxwell.ucsf.EDU]

I recently installed Debian 1.1, including termcap.compat.  Since then
I've installed a custom version of the kernel (2.0.7) successfully, so
I figure that gcc is reasonably well set up.

However, I tried to compile kermit 5A(190) and the make failed,
complaining that it couldn't find -ltermcap.

There is definitely a file of the form /lib/libtermcap.so.?, but I
guess gcc is looking for a *.a file.

How should I go about fixing this?
