Sounds like autoconf not looking good enough. Or a bug in the package
you used.

It will: libcurl is not required for building Asterisk. Generally for
most of the optional libraries, the confogure script of Asterisk will
silently fail if they are not installed. 

I don't think you want to have to install snmp, unixodbc, openh323, 
libpri, libvpb and whatever just to get Asterisk built.
