I solved it.

It appears that Asterisk (1.4.x and SVN-trunk) will go ahead and happily 
build any app_<whatever>.c code one puts into the apps directory, so 
getting the file for app_fastSMS and putting it in there causes it to be 
built.

But without first going through the menuselect process before it's 
built, the appropriate libraries don't get linked in to the module, and 
after Asterisk loads it very, very funky things begin to happen.  This 
application requires the same libraries as func_curl.

There are two fixes--the correct one is to add the appropriate skeleton 
code into the menuselect-tree source files, which I leave as an exercise 
for the reader.

The kludge is to just pretend that you did, and add the line:

MENUSELECT_DEPENDS_app_fastsms=CURL

to menuselect.makedeps at the toplevel directory.

The INSTALL document that comes with the source code doesn't mention 
this requisite; I wonder how many people running 1.4.x have actually 
tried to build it. . .

I'm cross-posting to -dev for archival reasons, as an FYI to folks there 
who might be interested.  Hope that's OK with you -dev types.
