Fellow CURLers, I dropped 7.5 into our collection of old and new unix
hosts and tried ./configure && make and here's the results:

:( NCR MP-RAS i486-ncr-sysv4.3.03

:) DEC Alpha alpha-dec-osf3.2

:( Data General m88k-dg-dgux5.4R3.00

:( HP-UX hppa1.1-hp-hpux9.05 (CFLAGS="-Aa -DA1.0 -D
_HPUX_SOURCE")

:) IBM AIX 4.3 powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0

:) Redhat 6.2 i686-pc-linux-gnu

:( SCO 5 i686-pc-sco3.2v5.0.5

:) Solaris 2.4 sparc-sun-solaris2.4

:) Solaris 2.7 i386-pc-solaris2.7

Unfortunately, I don't have time to persue these issues and will
continue to use 6.5.2 for an FTP application.

Gooey details:

**** NCR MP-RAS i486-ncr-sysv4.3.03

Seems to compile, but:

UX:ld: WARNING: /usr/lib/libnsl.so: warning: attempted multiple inclusion of
fil
e
UX:ld: WARNING: /usr/lib/libsocket.so: warning: attempted multiple inclusion
of
file
dynamic linker : lt-curl : error opening libcurl.so.1^M
Killed

Perhaps this yet another variation of troubles due to needing both
libnsl & libsocket. If so, SCO 5 should have failed too, but it
did not get to link phase. I'm wondering where the ^M came from...
Do I need to force curl to static link??

This almost looks like a permissions problem?
But I can't see how... (Seems like I've been here before...)

(It complains about the -D on all compiles, 6.5.2 did too...)

***** Solaris

Both systems compiled ok, but produced the following warning:

checking if libtool supports shared libraries... yes

*** Warning: the command libtool uses to detect shared libraries,
*** /usr/bin/file, produces output that libtool cannot recognize.
*** The result is that libtool may fail to recognize shared libraries
*** as such. This will affect the creation of libtool libraries that
*** depend on shared libraries, but programs linked with such libtool
*** libraries will work regardless of this problem. Nevertheless, you
*** may want to report the problem to your system manager and/or to
*** bug-libtool_at_gnu.org
