 I think this is the linchpin of the problem. A modern cURL needs to be
 bootstrapped.

 I find cURL is not the easiest program to build because it has so many
 dependencies. I recommend bootstrapping a downloader by building Wget.
 Wget has two dependencies - libunistring and OpenSSL. Once Wget is built
 and installed you can download anything, including a modern cURL.

 I eat my own dogfood. I bootstrap with Wget in my collection of build
 scripts at https://github.com/noloader/Build-Scripts.
