None of the above.

Defining CURL_NO_OLDIES means that the package is explicitly disavowing any
backwards compatibility that curl might supply it. The only time a package
should be setting that macro is to test whether it needs to be upgraded to
continue to work with libcurl in the future; it should not be setting it as
a matter of course or it will eventually break (as it just has).

The short-term solution is to remove that macro from the OO build. The long
term solution is to fix OO to avoid using those obsolete definitions.
