I don't know what to say. Did you build the 7.9.2 version from source too? It
obviously had something different as it picked a different darwin version.

How the heck can it not parse the command line as it is supposed to? The
7.9.2 can...

That parsing is completely out of curl's control, and I'm afraid I can't make
any sense out of this.

I'm baffled.
