I build git for Bent Linux, with

	make prefix=/usr NEEDS_LIBICONV=YesPlease

It develops compile and link lines that look like:

gcc -g -O2 -Wall  -DSHA1_HEADER='<openssl/sha.h>' -DNO_STRLCPY -o git-http-fetch   fetch.o http.o http-fetch.o \
                libgit.a xdiff/lib.a -lz  -liconv  -lcrypto -lcurl -lexpat

which produce vast numbers of errors, which look like

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.1/../../../libcurl.a(ssluse.o)(.text.rand_enough+0x4): In function `rand_enough':

make: *** [git-http-fetch] Error 1

I've been kludging around it with this patch:

 	PROGRAMS += git-http-fetch$X
 	curl_check := $(shell (echo 070908; curl-config --vernum) | sort -r | sed -ne 2p)

just because I didn't take the time to understand the git build
process's library conf system.
