It's certainly possible.

You can build and install any amount of separate curl versions/builds. A build
doesn't need nor use any current installation and won't even know its there.

Well, if you're not doing a cross-compiled build, the configure script will
use pkg-config in order to find and use dependencies in your system. If those
are not dependencies you like, then you need to point configure to other ones
or disable the use of them.

You can set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point to a specific directory for where your
pkg-config meta data is, you can use --disable-* and --without-* options to
configure or you can point out

That's when the configure script verifies if it can actually run an executable
linked to the specified libraries. You can probably fix that by editing
/etc/ld.so.conf, setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH or adding more LDFLAGS to "hardcode"
library paths into the executable.
