Yep. The linker automatically picks the right place to look.

But that's just where the trouble is. There are no compiler-specific
header directories, there's just /usr/include. The headers there are
searched by the compiler both on o32/n32/64 bit mode.
So either the user would have to specify those include directories
manually, or curl-config/pkg-config would have to. In any case it
would be a very non-standard installation (as compared to every other
3party lib).
