Not a great success, sadly.
On the official build machine (build-linux) the autobuild aborts with a
python(?) error pretty quickly.
On my local machine everything builds great, and basically runs, but
the resulting libcurl doesn't have HTTPS support (it didn't find
openssl, I guess) which we need.

I'm not really familiar with autobuild - perhaps Brad has some input?
Should I be running this on a specific host that isn't build-linux?

I could pretty easily hand-roll a build to unblock VWR-20801, but
autobuild is infinitely more desirable.

Cheers.
