The order of the flags isn't the problem here,
Linux is 

The only way to compile the ttytest.c program
on some (broken) versions of Linux is by explicitly
linking with the .so file. 
The way I feel about this is that the behaviour is so broken
so I don't even care to investigate what the reasons might be.

Ignore the error and upgrade/downgrade the linux installation
is the proper remedy.

/usr/bin/ld: cannot open -ltermcap: No such file or directory
