Follow-up Comment #2:
Per discussion at
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2020-03/msg00011.html this was
because of misuse of AC_REQUIRE in curl's configure script.
AC_REQUIRE([some_macro]) only makes sense if `some_macro` can be used without
arguments. There's no good way to detect, from the implementation of
AC_REQUIRE, whether the macro it's been passed can be used without arguments,
so there isn't really anything we can do about it besides add a note to NEWS,
which I have done.
