In my view , the change at 7.86.0 to force 64-bit only constitutes an ABI

That's not a change in 7.86.0.
The change in 7.86.0 is that configure now says that it sees no 64 bit type
for curl_off_t and those builds are deprecated and support for them will be
removed completely in March 2023. You can still override that error, as the
error message explains.
The bug has been in there all for a long time for Tandem, since it has long
long but hasn't made curl_off_t use it.
The configure check thus helped us spot this.
This fixes that and does not impact any other platform.
When you fix this issue and you get a 64 bit curl_off_t, that build is not ABI
compatible with a previous build where that type was 32 bit.
