I’m trying to build Julia on a cluster which has very outdated versions of most tools. I’ve compiled current versions of `curl`, `gcc`, `cmake`, etc., but now Julia’s `make` is failing to download dependencies (it was able to do this before I descended into dependency hell). Here is the error message:

```julia
curl: (35) error:1408F10B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number
make[1]: *** [/home/luke/software/juliasrc/deps/srccache/openblas-e8a68ef261a33568b0f0cf53e0e2287e9f12e69e.tar.gz] Error 35
make: *** [julia-deps] Error 2

```

I believe this is an issue with `curl` and my proxy settings, but I can’t figure out exactly what the issue is? Any help would be appreciated.
