Summary: curl-config --libs returns -s

Initial Comment:
The problem is simple:

In our makefile we use `curl-config --libs` to get hold
of all dependencies required by libcurl at link time.
We noticed however that our debug builds were stripped
for no good reason, and after a few hours of debugging
we discovered that curl-config was the culprit. it puts
a "-s" in its output, effectively stripping our
executable as well.

This bug is probably due to the fact that we tweaked
global build parameters for our gentoo. This should
still not have "leaked down" into the output of
curl-config.

Optimal solution: fix leakage, possibly together with
gentoo packager, and move to pkg-config instead :):)

Our important stats:

# curl-config --libs
-L/usr/lib -lcurl -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -Wl,
--sort-common -s -L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto -ldl -lz

# uname -a
Linux localhost 2.6.14-gentoo-r2 #7 SMP Tue Dec 6 15:
40:30 CET 2005 i686 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 252
AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

# curl-config --version
libcurl 7.15.0

Unfortunately, this problem is known while not easily to fix
without breaking old behaviour. But I guess doing it right
might be reason enough to reconsider old habits...

Still, no one has done any proper fix and while perhaps
pkg-config should be used I'm pretty sure we have the same
problem in that file as well since it is generated basically
the same way.

I wouldn't mind working with the gentoo packager, (s)he is
more than welcome to join in and help us improve curl.
