So? Your termcap installation is broken. Probably a wrong file gets include'd. Anyway, this is the wrong place to discuss it.

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -g -c tty.c
tty.c:39: conflicting types for `ospeed'
/usr/include/termcap.h:30: previous declaration of `ospeed'
make: *** [tty.o] Error 1
Go get cftp
It's same class but simpler (gets the job done nonetheless), smaller and free.
Cool
nFTP is a very cool ftp client. Get it.
NFTP binaries, source and libc5
Answers to last questions:
Currently, there are no plans to ship the source. This may change in the future, but I am reluctant to give any
promises. NFTP is not setuid root.
Binaries are libc5-based and static;
glibc2 binaries will be provided in the near future
(1-2 weeks).
better?
This has definitely gotten better and I think it's worth
the money now. It's got some cool features other ftp clients
lack, like the ability to use a Squid proxy for instance.

Probably termcap.h from ncurses. BTW, I heard you can emulate termcap with ncurses. Would you mind to include support for ncurses in cftp ? The same for the author of NFTP, but it's difficult since like any closed projects that'd mean more binaries. Some systems don't install termcap since it's "deprecated".
