Unfortunately, we cannot use the same trick, i.e. "Makefile
knows not to even compile when NO_CURL is set", as this change is to
help.c and we cannot say "if you do not have libcURL, you do not get
any help" ;-)
#ifndef NO_CURL
#include "git-curl-compat.h"
#endif
may be a simplest workaround, as Makefile does this:
ifdef NO_CURL
BASIC_CFLAGS += -DNO_CURL
...
