There's a guide for using the library safely available at
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-tutorial.html#Security
I'm not aware of similar documentation for compiling it securely. Mostly,
that's either platform-dependent or common-sense, although you could
argue that some aspects like choosing and building an SSL library securely
could be usefully discussed.
