I don't know whether you meant this to include the libs needed by the 
Asterisk binary itself, but for sure some of the libraries it needs, on 
some distributions (e.g. openWRT) have to be installed separately from a 
standard distro install:

# ldd /usr/sbin/asterisk
         libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7f27000)
         libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7ed4000)
         libtermcap.so.2 => /lib/libtermcap.so.2 (0xb7ed0000)
         libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0xb7ebf000)
         libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0xb7e0b000)
         libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xb7de8000)
         libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7de0000)
         libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7cac000)
         /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f3b000)

On openWRT libgcc_s, libtermcap, and libstdc++ need to be 
custom-installed, as well as libz and various other libraries needed 
indirectly.

Also res_config_pgsql and cdr_pgsql need libz.

The curl libs also have "cascaded dependencies" that include libidn, 
which isn't installed by default almost anywhere.  And despite being in 
the makefiles, as far as I can tell isn't really used by the curl 
library, since it doesn't make any difference if that dependency is 
deleted from the build.
