To enhance Linus's comment, you want to specifically build your curl
like this:

  ./configure --disable-shared --enable-static [--without-ssl]

(the [--without-ssl is optional, depends if you want/need it or not).
Using the first two configure switches, you'll produce a binary that is
linked only to the core libraries present on the system and cause you
the least amount of headaches. (this advice for a "modern" unix such as
Solaris, *BSD, Linux, etc - no clue on the more diverse stuff like SCO)
