You should adjust lib/config.h to features supported by VxWorks 6.2. You

Rename it to config.h and put it into lib folder.

I would suggest you instead call it config-vxworks.h to follow the tradition, 
and then you adjust lib/setup.h to include that file depending on a suitable 
vxworks pre-define. What is a suitable define to check for? I couldn't find 
any definite answer "out there".

Few minor fixes should be done in sources:

   1. In the file the lib\file.c file:

      replace the

           fd = open(real_path, O_RDONLY);

      with the

           fd = open(real_path, O_RDONLY, conn->data->set.new_file_perms);

Permissions required for open()ing a read-only file? What on earth does that 
mean? And even so, I would suggest an #ifdef there so that we can get the 
change back into the mainline.

   2. In the file the lib\strerror.c file:

      replace the

           char *msg = strerror_r(err, buffer, sizeof(buffer));

      with the

           char *msg = strerror_r(err, buffer);

Here too. And here I would suggest we add an #ifdef for HAVE_STRERROR_R_3ARGS 
or something and let the vxworks header define that one.

   3. In the include\curl\curl.h file:

      delete following line:

           #include <sys/time.h>

That should then rather be done conditionally on that vxworks define I think.

Of course, this assumes you want to work with me to get the changes 
incorporated into libcurl.
