Initial Comment:
cURL package version 7.15.5

Problem: I was trying to compile curl package for mingw32 platform on a linux system. configure command I used is something like:
>../curl-7.15.5/configure --host=i386-pc-mingw32
>make
>

In file included from ../../../../curl68/lib/setup.h:375,
                 from ../../../../curl68/lib/strtoofft.h:31,
                 from ../../../../curl68/lib/curlx.h:41,
                 from ../../../../curl68/src/main.c:105:
../../../../curl68/lib/setup_once.h:82: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘Missing_definition_of_macro_sread’

The same probleme occurs when not using cross compilation. After investigation I have figured what the error is: the wrong config.h is include. It is included by the setup.h in either lib/ or src/ directory depending what is being compiled. When compiling in the distrib directory lib/setup.h(#include "config.h") will always include lib/config.h (resp. src). In my case as config.h files are configured their locations is not in the same directory that setup.h but ${topdir}/src/config.h and ${topdir}/lib/config.h. In this configuration the config.h file actually include by setup.h is the one from the first -I ... As a simple workaround you should change the name of the configuration in both directory. Notice that I am not an expert of autoconf but I guess your way of using the config.h is not totally recommended.
