Can you try compiling this test program on its own so see can see what the 
problem actually is?

Copy out every line after "failed program was:" in config.log for this curl 
test that starts with "| " and put it in a file testprog.c

Remove the "| " from the start of each line of testprog.c using your favourite 
editor. So you should end up with something like this:

<-- start of testprog.c -->
/* confdefs.h.  */
/* various definitions */
/* end confdefs.h.  */

/* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error.  */
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
#endif
/* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
    builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.  */
char curl_easy_perform ();
int
main ()
{
curl_easy_perform ();
   ;
   return 0;
}
<-- end of testprog.c -->

Then try compiling this test program and see what output you get:

$ gcc -o testprog testprog.c -lcurl

Do you see any error messages?

I think it's important for you to figure out what the problem is because it 
may come back to bite you again in the future.
