I think it is. Usually that means it can or will happen on other platforms
too.

You won't need a debugger - but you will need some perl awareness. That test
script runs the preprocessor on curl headers and checks the output to verify
that no curl header defines a symbol that doesn't start with (case
insensitive) "curl".

In your failing case it probably mistakes a system header and wrongly thinks a
curl header did the wrong thing.
