Yes, that sounds better.  I guess I'll whip up the patch, then.

No need to worry about configure.ac.  It is doable all with preprocessor 
statements:

/* Some versions of libcurl trigger a gcc bug with -Wlogical-op
  * that was fixed for gcc 4.5.0; disable the problematic libcurl
  * code if we don't detect a good enough compiler.  */
#if __GNUC__ < 4 || (__GNUC__ == 4 && __GNUC_MINOR < 5)
# define CURL_DISABLE_TYPECHECK
#endif
