Seems lame. The curl cmake file has always checked that size since the first
day we had one. Although I don't know how good cmake is at doing that for
cross-compiles...

In cmake builds, here:

https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/f3e0f071b14fcb46a453f69bdf4e062bcaacf362/CMakeLists.txt#L798

(and obviouly similarly by configure, but that's not the topic here)

You should at least set it somewhere. Exactly what the best way is for you to
set it, I leave to you.

All 64 bit iOS targets will have it at 8 as far as I know, yes.
