I think I see why peter@ added the sysinstall bit. If you look at the
Makefile itself there's a built-tools target (which is fairly
inconsequential as the rtermcap program is relatively small), and a
dependency to check for an existing prebuilt fat termcap file and/or
build a copy from scratch if the prebuilt one doesn't exist. I have no
idea why it's in sysinstall's Makefile -- but it's there today (which
means that one should probably tread around it with a big stick for
the time being, and eventually be moved out if it's of value).
