Summary:                    curl does not seem to work when cross-compiling
Description: 
I am trying to get curl available under astlinux - but there seems to be a
problem when cross-compiling curl_lib. 

the error is :

[LD] func_curl.o -> func_curl.so
/usr/src/astlinux/build_i586/staging_dir/bin-ccache/../lib/gcc/i586-linux-uclibc/4.1.2/../../../../i586-linux-uclibc/bin/ld:
cannot find -lcurl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [func_curl.so] Error 1

In fact, the developers of libcurl suggest using curl-config, even when it
comes to autoconf: 
http://cool.haxx.se/cvs.cgi/curl/docs/libcurl/libcurl.m4?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
If you have an issue with their suggestion, then you should take it up
with them.  At this time, we are not prepared to supercede the official
method of configuring libcurl, so as a result, you are advised not to use
libcurl for cross-compiling.

If you would like us to use a method that will work for both native
compiling as well as cross-compiling, my suggestion is that you contribute
that back upstream to the libcurl project.  When they have that capability,
we'll be happy to add it here, as well.
