Hello,

We can't do that, as there are users of the wolfssl backend in the OE
ecosystem: https://github.com/wolfSSL/meta-wolfssl/blob/master/recipes-support/curl/curl_%25.bbappend

The fix does not seem very complex, can we backport it instead?
https://github.com/curl/curl/commit/ed0338befd1d865a8ea1fbaa90

Maybe CC meta-wolfssl maintainers on the patch so that they are
aware/have a chance to review/test it.

Thanks!
