Without these frameworks compiled in, the --with-rustls flag on Macs fails with a bunch of errors related to missing symbols that are present in the CoreFoundation or Security frameworks.
People may not notice this because compilation does not error if you include the --with-secure-transport flag - that one appends the correct CoreFoundation framework flags to LDFLAGS. Unfortunately including that flag means that curl chooses SecureTransport for TLS and not rustls, so as is, it's essentially impossible to use rustls for TLS on Mac.
