All curl "officially" supports is statically linking with libcurl itself,
not its dependencies. You can use the output of `curl-config --static-libs'
to infer the kind dependent libraries you might need to also link statically,
but that won't quite be sufficient because they could each have dependencies
of their own (and so on (and so on (and so on))). Many libcurl dependencies
have *-config style programs of their own or use pkgconfig so the best way
forward is to use each of those in turn to generate a complete list of
dependent static libraries.
