I see.

No, I didn't.
I decided to ask first, as I've seen different reports in the list
archives. One say it works, another say some headers are missing.

Certainly, I'm going to try ASAP.

OK, I'll try to check this subject and provide some summary.

By the way, I'm a developer of WCELIBCEX [1] library which adds missing
features and functions to C library (and not only C library) on Windows
CE. For example, in one post in the list archives I've see there are
problems with missing errno.h etc.
WCELIBCEX tries to bring such missing features and tries to make porting
software easier.

Then, if libcurl will build smoothly using native version of C library
on Windows CE, that will be cool. But if some problems will occur, I'm
going to use my WCELIBCEX if it will enable libcurl compilation.

Cheers
