Perhaps you forgot but I stated in the original thread that I build RPMS
for RHEL/CentOS 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. I still do and I run the testsuite
every single time.
I currently have 2.13.3 up for el4, el5, el6 and el7.
Only el4 requires any patches, the rest will build out of the box with
the vendor supplied version of curl.
The plan was to drop the el4 builds for 2.14.0 to get rid of the patches.

I just built a pristine 2.14.0 on CentOS 5 with curl 7.15.5. No problems
at all neither with building nor with running the testsuite.

I have no problem with you wanting to drop support for older curl
releases (such as 7.15.5) but don't use the argument that it doesn't
currently build and nobody cares.
Also FWIW Red Hat continues to support RHEL 5 with the Extended
Life-cycle Support program until 2020-11-30.
