+- Marc Kleine-Budde fixed: curl saved the LDFLAGS set during configure into
+  its pkg-config file.  So -Wl stuff ended up in the .pc file, which is really
+  bad, and breaks if there are multiple -Wl in our LDFLAGS (which are in
+  PTXdist). bug #2893592 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2893592)

 - David Byron improved the configure script to use pkg-config to find OpenSSL
   (and in particular the list of required libraries) even if a path is given
