Hi,

I am attempting to enable curl support in dar.  dar provides a standard binary
and dar_static, which is to be used for emergency system rescues.

Curl provides a static version (.a).  Unfortunately, curl uses gssapi_krb5,
which is not available in a static version.   The result is an inability to link
a static program (due to being unable to find the krb5 symbols referenced in
libcurl.a).

The static version of libcurl.a should, therefore, be built without krb5 support.

Thanks,

John
