I suspected something like that after the results of a Google search (before posting here) --- I tried termcap-devel, and it tells me that there's no such package; then I noticed that there is the package termcap, and also libtermcap, with the accompanying libtermcap-devel. Turns out that, as Greg pointed out, it was the missing ncurses-devel. Strangely enough, the little dummy test program still reports the exact same errors when compiling with -lreadline. But PostgreSQL's configure script now runs successfully! Thanks, and thanks Greg for the valuable tip !
