Just found I have mistaken the configure option about libss2. The option "--with-libssh2=PATH" means the installation directory of libssh2, and the configure script will try to find the related headers and libraries from "PATH/include", and "PATH/lib".

Previously, I set the option mistakenly to "--with-libssh2=/home/qxu/opensrc/libssh2-1.2/src/.libs", and this lead to the following error in config.log:
=====================================================
configure:25884: checking for libssh2_channel_open_ex in -lssh2
configure:25916: gcc -o conftest -g0 -O2 -Wno-system-headers -I/usr/kerberos/include -I/home/qxu/opensrc/libssh2-1.2/src/.libs/include -L/usr/kerberos/lib -L/home/qxu/opensrc/libssh2-1.2/src/.libs/lib conftest.c -lssh2 -lssl -lcrypto -lrt -lssl -lcrypto -ldl -lz -lz >&5
=====================================================
You will notice the configure script tried to locate the header from "/home/qxu/opensrc/libssh2-1.2/src/.libs/include" and the library from "/home/qxu/opensrc/libssh2-1.2/src/.libs/lib". Obviously, this is incorrect. I didn't notice this, coz the configure script ran successfully and didn't report and error of libssh2. Maybe this is due to another version of libssh2 exists in the same linux box.

For the libssh2-1.2 source package compiled by myself, the headers are in "/home/qxu/opensrc/libssh2-1.2/include", and the libraries are in "/home/qxu/opensrc/libssh2-1.2/src/.libs". So I did the following:
=====================================================
qxu_at_durian(pts/0):~/opensrc/libssh2-1.2[224]$ ln -s src/.libs/ lib
qxu_at_durian(pts/0):~/opensrc/libssh2-1.2[225]$ ll
...
lrwxrwxrwx 1 qxu XOG_cc 10 Oct 14 15:12 lib -> src/.libs/
...
qxu_at_durian(pts/0):~/opensrc/curl-7.19.6[228]$ ./configure --with-libssh2=/home/qxu/opensrc/libssh2-1.2 -disable-shared
...
qxu_at_durian(pts/0):~/opensrc/curl-7.19.6[229]$ make
...
qxu_at_durian(pts/0):~/opensrc/curl-7.19.6/src[233]$ ./curl --version

/* everything is good up to now, and libssh2's version is correctly reflected as 1.2 in the output of "./curl --version */

qxu@durian(pts/0):~/opensrc/curl-7.19.6/src[234]$ ./curl -v -u qxu:fair123 -T CMakeLists.txt sftp://13.198.98.202/scan/test.txt

=====================================================
How to overcome this hosts failure?
