Fixed now with commit:

https://github.com/bagder/curl/commit/308dc625f7

March 14 daily snapshot should include them now.

Something I've noticed about the build process...

build_curlbuild_h.com attempts to generate file curlbuild.h. But the
file it generates is not a proper one. It has dependencies on several
HAVE_* preprocessor macros which is wrong for curlbuild.h.

Given that it is not possible to run autoconf, I suggest you make
direct use of curlbuild.h if it exists (daily and release tarballs),
and simply copy curlbuild.h.dist to curlbuild.h when it doesn't exist
(git pull).

This will also ensure that whatever changes are done to
curlbuild.h.dist are automatically taken in account for VMS builds,
without someone having to figure out that VMS builds get broken.
