I don't have this problem on linux so I don't know why this happens on windows. I googled it already and didn't find anything except mailing list archives with the same question and reply saying "google it".
I'm using mingw. I did get some linker warnings when I built libcurl but they seemed to be ssl related and I don't know if it's a big deal because it built without errors.
