"the github version" off git is not the release, that's a tagged development
version so it requires a few extra steps as mention in the GIT-INFO file in
the root directory of the checkout.

It would recommend getting a true release version if you want the slightly
easier route.

You build curl so you need to tell your compiler/configure the extra options
to cross-build into other versions. "CFLAGS=-m32 ./configure" would be the
simplest take I would guess at, but I don't actually know of it works that
easily on msys.

It's actually more of a system and compiler question than a curl one.

Build openssl and install first, then use curls configure like:

   ./configure --with-ssl=[PATH prefix]
