I just compiled 2.8.5dev.7 with the following options:

--libdir=/usr/local/share --enable-warnings
--disable-full-paths --with-ssl --with-screen=ncurses
--disable-bibp-urls --disable-menu-options
--enable-color-style --enable-prettysrc --enable-read-eta
--enable-source-cache --enable-cgi-links --enable-nsl-fork
--with-zlib --disable-finger --disable-gopher --disable-news
--disable-dired

and it still fails. Here's what I have:

~/.lynx/lynx.cfg:

JUMPFILE:/home/pervalidus/.lynx/jumps.html

~/.lynx/jumps.html:

<dt>?<dd><a href="file:///home/pervalidus/.lynx/jumps.html">This Shortcut 
List</a>
<dt>ago<dd><a href="ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/";>alpha.gnu.org</a>
<dt>dl<dd><a href="file:///home/pervalidus/.lynx/download.html">Download</a>
<dt>ml<dd><a 
href="file://localhost/home/pervalidus/.lynx/mail.html">mailing-lists</a>

j + ? = "Invalid hostname". The same with 'dl'.

'ago' and 'ml' work.

Attached is a trace.

BTW, I don't think I have localhost problems.
http://localhost/ works:

==> /var/log/httpd/access_log <==
