Nope. libcurl uses libnghttp2 for handling the HTTP/2 framing layer.

Your problem is really that you're using an ancient Linux distro so you get to
perform a pretty bad case of "installing dependencies of new enough versions".

It is also possible that you can tell the nghttp2 configure script to disable
parts of the build and thus lax the requirements a bit.
