The information on the URL in question incomplete in a sense that there
is suggestion to "pass on environment variable" and that "it helped",
but no specifics, which is frustrating. For reference, I attempted to
build curl-7.21.0 on Linux with PKG_CONFIG_PATH pointing to "multilib"
directory and it worked all the way, without need to fiddle with LDFLAGS.

Either way, as already mentioned I recognize the problem and suggested
solution is http://cvs.openssl.org/chngview?cn=19772. A.
