Can you dig up the config.log file and see if that gives you any insight on
the failure?

I trust you tried this with curl 7.9.8?

They were defined, sure, but the library check requires that the
test-function links OK, which may fail if there's also another library
required for exmaple that wasn't around/used at the time. That's why
config.log is the best thing to start investigating.
