It could help passing -f-curl to configure there. Is there a way to do that in
master.cfg (I have no idea, really).

Makes me wonder if we should further relax some of those, or is this a
different kind of problem?

Solaris now passes, but it runs wrong diff. Does configure look for gdiff
before looking for diff and uses that when compiled on hosts with gdiff?

Running it through Cabal would probably work.
