Yeah, that's fair. It's because LIBCURL_LDLIBS isn't set until that
AC_CHECK_LIB test is run, and the test needs LIBCURL_LDFLAGS to be in
force.

(Upthread, I was idly wondering if those AC_CHECKs should just be
removed -- after all, PKG_CHECK_MODULES just told us where Curl was --
but I'm nervous that this might make more niche use cases like
cross-compilation harder to use in practice?)

Does the attached help clarify?
