And you did these steps:

  $ ./configure
  $ make
  $ make install

... to get those headers installed?

Are you saying that you're including the *same* header files when building for
multiple target systems? That's not going to work.

Others have managed to build curl on these systems before, so I'd suspect that
there's just something wrong happening for you.

The headers are different now (in git master) so this error can't happen, no.
From 7.55.0, building for multiple systems using the same physical header file
setup works.
