I've never been able to figure this problem out, so I've I always just edited the makefile so that the two programs in CURL_TOOLS aren't built. IIRC, if you use -v to see the full linker command, it's even actually linking to the curl library that's there but somehow not succeeding. It's all quite weird. It's been a while since I dug into it though. - Jonathan M Davis
