Issue #2058 seems similar.

Does replacing --with-tlib=ncurses with --with-tlib=tinfo help?

I found the same issue when compile the vim as well. Here is my solution:
--with-tlib=ncurses should replace by --with-tlib=tinfo . libtinfo was generated from ncurses when you add the --with-termlib whilecompiling ncurse

source

Alternatively, does setting vim_cv_tgetent to zero help?

vim_cv_tgetent=zero

I have experienced the same issue while building Vim 8.1 through Yocto/OE recipe as well as for Buildroot. The solution was to add:
 vim_cv_tgetent=zero

vim_cv_tgetent=zero worked

the final configure command was:
vim_cv_memcpy_handles_overlap=set vim_cv_bcopy_handles_overlap=set vim_cv_memmove_handles_overlap=set vim_cv_stat_ignores_slash=set vim_cv_timer_create=set vim_cv_getcwd_broken=set vim_cv_toupper_broken="set" vim_cv_terminfo="set" vim_cv_tgetent=zero ./configure --host=arm-apple-darwin11 --with-tlib=ncurses
