I've never seen this happen before. I googled around a bit for this but the
only suggestion I found was on the top of this page:
http://realm.progsoc.uts.edu.au/~subtle/solaris28_link.html that suggests
that you should use the -mimpure-text together with the -shared option.

The GCC 3 man page says this about that option:

     -mimpure-text
         -mimpure-text, used in addition to -shared, tells the
         compiler to not pass -assert pure-text to the linker
         when linking a shared object.

Eh, no.

First, I'd suggest that you 'make install' libcurl first, and then I'd
suggest that you use the shared version of libcurl instead of the static
one...
