The configure process looks for some of these libraries, and based on 
what's available, and some of the symbols they contain, decides what 
libraries to link against.  It also caches results from a previous run, 
so simply re-running configure in that tree probably won't fix it.

Remove the config.cache file at the top level of the build tree and run 
configure again.  (Or delete the tree and start your build over.)  Then 
telnet should link against ncurses.
