Thanks Simon. I can confirm that curl does indeed build properly on
armhf with DEB_BUILD_PROFILES='pkg.curl.noldap nocheck'.

With libcurl3t64-gnutls cargo can now be rebootstrapped on armhf
(haven't tried armel yet). See https://people.debian.org/~ema/cargo/ for
the debs. I've included installable curl packages there too in case
someone else wants to give it a go.

Fabian: it seems that cargo's build-depend on git can be dropped? The
package builds fine without, tests included.
