From your log, it appeared that there was a problem linking tic.
tic could be used in a subsequent attempt to install the database,
but I didn't see that in the log.
(the host's infocmp would be used if you chose to generate fallback
entries - but that's a separate issue)

actually not - see above
From the fragment of build-log, I couldn't see how you set up the configure
step. You should only have to set the build-cc (done if you've gotten to
tic), and the target, e.g.,
--with-build-cc=$BUILD_CC \
--host=$TARGET \
--target=$TARGET \
