I think I see the problem here.  On my installation of Cygwin (1.3.5),
the link in /usr/lib is:

    /usr/lib/terminfo -> ../share/terminfo

This link is fine for /usr/lib, where "../share/terminfo" resolves to
"/usr/share/terminfo".  But referencing the same link from /lib:

    /lib/terminfo -> ../share/terminfo

results in a dead link, because "/share/terminfo" does not exist.

The link should be an absolute link to "/usr/share/terminfo" and not
a relative link such as it is.
