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.
option to specify dis(activation) of picky compiler warnings.
If option is specified, it will be honored independant of the
--(dis|en)able-debug option.
If option is not specified, it will follow --(dis|en)able-debug
setting, whose default is disabled if not specified.
