Er, sorry if I'm being dense, but how? Are you suggesting that by
removing the callsite of get_curl_allowed_protocols(), the compiler
might elide the now-dead code completely? I could certainly see it being
dropped after the compilation, but I'm surprised that it wouldn't
complain about the undeclared identifiers in the first place.
And if that _is_ what is happening...that seems like a very fragile and
unportable thing to be depending on.

OK, thanks for double-checking. I'm still puzzled why your build
succeeds and mine does not.

That was the same page I was looking at. The bit I read was:
For versions of products in the Extended Life Phase, Red Hat will
provide limited ongoing technical support. No bug fixes, security
fixes, hardware enablement or root-cause analysis will be available
during this phase, and support will be provided on existing
installations only.
But I missed the bit about the "ELS add-on" below there, which I guess
is an extra thing. I do suspect that "install arbitrary new versions of
Git" is outside of their scope of "urgent priority bug fixes". But in a
sense it doesn't really matter. What is much more interesting is whether
there's a significant population that is running RHEL5 and has a strong
need for newer versions of Git. That I'm not sure about.
