Yes, guilty as charged. "Standard" linux poplog doesn't use libc5
though.

Although termcap is compiled in, I doubt that if often gets used. A
quick reading of vdinitseq.p suggests that it is a fallback in case an
appropriate ved<terminaltype>screen.p file, e.g., vedxtermscreen.p,
isn't available, and I think that for most cases there is such a file.
There's vedlinuxscreen.p for the linux console.
In fact, vdtermcap.p includes an explicit opt-out for a system lacking
termcap:
------------
#_IF DEF NCR
/* Termcap not available -- see comment in "termcap.p"
*/
define vedtermcapscreen(_);
enddefine;
#_TERMIN_IF true
#_ENDIF
------------
