Re: autoconf/makefile problem

Oops, you're right. Here is the offending line from lib/ca-bundle.h.
#define CURL_CA_BUNDLE "${prefix}/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt"
But the problem is a standard one, and the solution is addressed in the info
page for autoconf:
A corollary is that you should not use these variables except in
Makefiles. For instance, instead of trying to evaluate `datadir' in
`configure' and hard-coding it in Makefiles using e.g.,
`AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(DATADIR, "$datadir")', you should add
`-DDATADIR="$(datadir)"' to your `CPPFLAGS'.

Does this really work? The full path must be set in the lib/ca-bundle.h file
after configure has run, and I believe this fix makes a bad #define line.
(I don't have time to test this, I just recall myself having tried exactly
this and failed.)
