SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations by default (and if given non-Null
parameters) searches the CAfile first and falls back to CApath. This
allows for CAfile to be a basis (e.g. installed by the package manager)
and CApath to be a user configured directory.
This wasn't reflected by the previous configure constraint which this
patch fixes.
Bug: https://github.com/bagder/curl/pull/139
The commit 7b074a460b to CURL_CHECK_CA_BUNDLE in 7.31 (don't check
for paths when cross-compiling) causes --without-ca-path to no longer
works when cross-compiling, since ca and capath only ever get set to
"no" when not cross-compiling, I attach a patch that works for me. Also
in the cross-compilation case, no ca-path seems to be a better default
(IMVHO) than empty ca-path.

1 - We don't use the results from the test and we never did. recvfrom()
is only used by the TFTP code and it has not caused any problems.
2 - the CURL_CHECK_FUNC_RECVFROM function is extremely slow
When cross-compiling, CURL_CHECK_PKGCONFIG was checking for the cross
pkg-config using ${host}-pkg-config.
The gold standard for doing this correctly is pkg-config's own macro,
PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG. However, on the assumption that you have a good
reason not to use that directly (reduced dependencies for maintainer
builds?), the behaviour of cURL's version should at least match.
PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG uses AC_PATH_TOOL, which ultimately ends up trying
${host_alias}-pkg-config; this is not quite the same as what cURL does,
and may differ because ${host} has been run through config.sub. For
instance, when cross-building to the armhf architecture on Ubuntu,
${host_alias} is arm-linux-gnueabihf while ${host} is
arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf. This may also have been the cause of the
problem reported at http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2012-04/0224.html.
AC_PATH_TOOL is significantly simpler than cURL's current code, and
dates back to well before the current minimum of Autoconf 2.57, so let's
use it instead.
AIX sys/poll.h header file defines 'events' and 'revents' as C
preprocessor macros. Usage of these literals in libcurl's external
API was introduced in commit de24d7bd4c causing AIX build failures.
Appropriate inclusion of sys/poll.h by libcurl's external interface
fixes AIX build and usage issues while avoiding a SONAME bump.
When using Sun C compiler the preprocessor somehow inserts an extra space
in front of replaced symbol, breaking CURL_CHECK_DEF macro. To workaround
this, macro CURL_CHECK_DEF now ignores all leading whitespace in front of
symbol substitution result.
recvfrom in bionic (the android libc) deviates from POSIX and uses a
const in the 5th argument ("const struct sockaddr *") so the check now
tests for that as well.
When curl calls a function from that library then it needs to
explicitly link to the library instead of piggybacking on
libcurl's own dependency. Without this, GNU ld with the
--no-add-needed flag fails when linking (which Fedora now does
by default).

being properly detected under certain circumstances. It had been caused by
strange behavior of pkg-config when handling PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR. pkg-config
distinguishes among empty and non-existent environment variable in that case.
when cross-compiling. The key to success is then you properly setup
PKG_CONFIG_PATH before invoking configure.
I also improved how NSS is detected by trying nss-config if pkg-config isn't
present, and as a last resort just use the lib name and force the user to
setup the LIBS/LDFLAGS/CFLAGS etc properly. The previous last resort would
add a range of various libs that would almost never be quite correct.
by Daniel Black, I've now added magic to the configure script that makes it
use pkg-config to detect gnutls details as well if the existing method
(using libgnutls-config) fails. While doing this, I cleaned up and unified
the pkg-config usage when detecting openssl and nss as well.

If option is specified, it will be honored independant of the

If option is not specified, it will follow --(dis|en)able-debug
