I said "Remove that and re-run configure", and that's what you did and confirmed it works....

src/tool_hugehelp.c gets generated and is included in the tarballs just to avoid people having to have the necessary infrastructure to generate it. The fix I've pushed does however make the default file have an #ifdef section so that the --disable-manual option works with that file too.

I consider this case closed.

The issue appears to be related to this commit: 
https://github.com/bagder/curl/commit/0af2322bc6dec10612d33de4b100d5dbc7be739f
I believe the following fix is enough to fix it:
~~~~~~
diff --git a/src/tool_hugehelp.h b/src/tool_hugehelp.h
index 442579e..29e5c88 100644
