I now get some strange new problem and I must admit I can't really see why
this happens.

A quote from my config.log:

configure:6114: checking size of curl_off_t
configure:6116: result: 8
configure:6119: checking formatting string directive for curl_off_t
configure:6161: result: "ll d"
configure:6164: checking formatting string directive for unsigned curl_off_t
configure:6166: result: "ll u"

These cause curlbuild.h to contain:

/* curl_off_t formatting string directive without "%" conversion specifier. */
#define CURL_FMT_OFF_T "ll d"

/* unsigned curl_off_t formatting string without "%" conversion specifier. */
#define CURL_FMT_OFF_TU "ll u"

The key to notice here is the space in the defined strings, which then in the
end make test 3 fail like this:
