I would expect that people building curl mostly just use what configure
generates for them.

I really can't tell how to do this as I know next to nothing about how
macOS/iOS versions differ and change between releases.

If nobody else speaks up, make an educated guess that seems to work for you
and then we move forward and adjust accordingly if people find problems with
the current set?

I would really appreciate some help on fixing this configure issue. I think it
would be a pity to keep releasing curl without having this issue sorted out.
Even if the blame for this is totally not ours.
