Correct me if I'm wrong, but in my case libtermcap _is_ in initrds3:

$ mount -o loop initrds3 /mnt/tmp
$ ls -l /mnt/tmp/lib/libtermcap* -l
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           19 Aug 12 07:29
	/mnt/tmp/lib/libtermcap.so.2 -> libtermcap.so.2.0.8
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        11624 Aug 12 07:28
	/mnt/tmp/lib/libtermcap.so.2.0.8

you can find notes on where I got it, and how it was built in
 
http://www.crosswinds.net/~linux7kj/buildnotes/termcap.build

see also 
http://www.crosswinds.net/~linux7kj/initrds/initrds3.makelog

these files (and in fact all the files of the ~linuxkj site) should  also
available from the linux-7110.sourceforge ftp site (the latter seems to be
down at the time of writing). You may find the other files in these
directories useful as well. Please let me know if you have
further questions after checking out these files.
