Alona, this is very odd, to see your question on my first visit to the site.
I just happen to have your solution: "re-bind" the library statically
*before* linking. This applies to any .a or .so. Here is how I did it:

mkdir OLD
> mv libcurl* OLD
> cd OLD
> ar x libcurl.a; ls
> file *.4
> rm libcurl.so.4
> cd ..
> ld -o libcurl.o -b svr4 -dn -r -z nodefs -b expall -b noipath -b nox -b
> nortl -b noglink -b nogc -b noentry OLD/libcurl.a
> ar -q libcurl.a libcurl.o
> nm -A -g *.a | tail -80

walker_at_aix364 08:33$ mkdir OLD
walker_at_aix364 08:33$ mv libcurl* OLD
walker_at_aix364 08:33$ cd OLD
walker_at_aix364 08:33$ ar x libcurl.a; ls
libcurl.a libcurl.la libcurl.so.4
walker_at_aix364 08:33$ file *.4
libcurl.so.4: executable (RISC System/6000) or object module not stripped
walker_at_aix364 08:33$ rm libcurl.so.4
walker_at_aix364 08:33$ cd ..
walker_at_aix364 08:33$ ld -o libcurl.o -b svr4 -dn -r -z nodefs -b expall -b
noipath -b nox -b nortl -b noglink -b nogc -b noentry OLD/libcurl.a
walker_at_aix364 08:33$ ar -q libcurl.a libcurl.o
ar: Creating an archive file libcurl.a.
walker_at_aix364 08:33$ nm -A -g *.a | tail -80
libcurl.a[libcurl.o]: stat U -
libcurl.a[libcurl.o]: stat64 U -
libcurl.a[libcurl.o]: strcasecmp U -
libcurl.a[libcurl.o]: strcat D 140940 12
libcurl.a[libcurl.o]: strchr U -
libcurl.a[libcurl.o]: strcmp D 97348 8
