This has to be CPPFLAGS, not LDFLAGS, if you want it to have any effect.

configure ought to be able to figure out all this on its own.

This should be redundant with --enable-static

The --with-ssl syntax is wrong; as documented by ./confiugure --help, it
takes a parameter which is the path to an OpenSSL installation directory.
If OpenSSL is set up properly, you shouldn't need the -I flag in CPPFLAGS.
If OpenSSL is installed in other than the canonical way, then it becomes
tricky as curl's configure isn't set up to make a custom install easy.

I really doubt this is the problem. Fix the above issues and you should
have much greater success.
