Based on your other comments, I think you mean that you successfully
built the libcurl DLL, but that it won't load at runtime.

Do you use early binding or late binding? IOW, do you link with
libcurl.lib, or do you use LoadLibrary to load libcurl.dll?
Try to make a small sample that uses LoadLibrary() to load libcurl.dll,
then report the result of LoadLibrary() and GetLastError().

The team is doing a great job minimizing warnings, but it is pretty
tough to eliminate them completely, given the range of toolchains
and SDKs the codebase has to work with.

This is conflicting. If you cannot enter main, how are you calling
curl_global_init? Do not call it from a static initialization
function.

It does not sound like it has an issue finding the dll, but in loading
it. Try to build the curl dll and generate a .map file, then examine
the map file to see which symbols and modules you might be
missing at runtime.
