Runt 'make install'. Until you do that, the wrapper script is there to make
sure you can run it as if it was a true program, using the newly built
library.

Another approach is to run configure --disable-shared, as then curl will be
built staticly and the wrapper script is not needed.

Right, but if you want curl to use the recently built DLLs, you need to copy
them into the same directory as the curl executable, or else the new
executable will use the old installed DLLs.

Or you build curl staticly.

No.

What kind of package?

That is not a really truthful dependency.

I build curl regularly using an older glibc just fine.
