I am not an autotools guru, but this line looks like a bad idea to me. It's
not generic enough assumption. It's a bit subtle to place something like this
to configure.ac.

Is really pkg-config the only obstruction which prevents libcurl-NSS to be
built by mingw? Are you able to build libcurl-NSS if you change the
suspicious line manually (by removing -ldl and adding whatever it lacks)?

If yes, then we can find out some more generic way to find NSS libraries
during cross-compile...
