When openSSL is selected, cURL is configured to use it.

But in this case, the libcurl.pc file /forgets/ to require link
against -ldl.

This can happen, for example, when BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB is not set,
but an executable wants to be linked statically (for various reasons
which are irrelevant here).

Fix that by conditionally append -ldl to the Libs.Private section of
the installed libcurl.pc if openSSL is enabled.

Shouldn't this rather be fixed through a patch that gets submitted to
the upstream curl project?

Probably, yes. There's even a comment in the libcurl.pc.in template, that
reads:
  # This should most probably benefit from getting a "Requires:" field added
  # dynamically by configure.

I've tried to find a simple way to do that, but I did not find so far. It is
too much involved IMHO.

I'll try to reproduce a small test-case, and submit a bug report upstream.
Of course, when I find a bit of time, I'll try to fix that and push a proper
fix... :-/

OK, I've changed my mind: forget this patch of mine, I'll just redo it
by adding a proper 'Requires:' line, that's much cleaner.

Doint it properly in curl's source will take a bit more time, but I'll
eventually look at it (but not before Monday, I'm off for the WE, with
probably no access to a computer, much less to internet. Yeah! Roots!).
