I can't really address the problem in itself, I'll just offer an explanation
for something around it:

That's what libtool does when you build with shared libraries. It "hides" the
true binary file in the .libs dirctory and the src/curl file becomes a shell
script that sets up the environment variables correctly so that when you run
src/curl, it'll use the locally built shared libraries and the binary found
in the .libs directory.

I too think it looks like a libtool or automake problem.
