 I believe the latest git release (1.7.1.) has an installation
bug when building with "NO_CURL=YesPlease".  Looking at the Makefile 
line
1999 it reads

for p in $(REMOTE_CURL_ALIASES); do

which results in "/bin/sh: syntax error at line 1 : `;' unexpected" as
REMOTE_CURL_ALIASES is empty.

I can't reproduce this. How exactly are you building? I'm using
$ NO_CURL=YesPlease make
... and it builds fine for me.

I used:

gmake prefix=<path> NO_CURL=YesPlease NO_PYTHON=YesPlease all

which works fine, followed by

gmake prefix=<path> NO_CURL=YesPlease NO_PYTHON=YesPlease install

which reported the above error

I had a similar problem when "make install"ing under AIX. Not with 
NO_CURL but with some other NO_* option. I forgot which.
This yealded to an empty $(REMOTE_***_ALIASES) macro 
(REMOTE_CURL_ALIASES in your case) which my AIX shell cannot handle.

It reads "for p in; do" which makes it unhappy. I solved my problem with 
  the SHELL_PATH environment variable (look at the first few lines in 
the Makefile).

$ SHELL_PATH=/bin/bash NO_SOMETHING=YesPlease make install

then worked fine for me.
