By default, the curl build system will build both static and shared libraries
(if possible). When you link your application, you can simply include
libcurl.a as one of the objects to link, instead of using -lcurl. Or, you
could give the --disable-shared configure option when building curl to stop
it from creating a shared library to begin with. Then just make sure there
aren't any shared libraries around that could accidentally be used and
link your app normally.
