--with-curl vs --with-curl-path=PATH

--with-curl vs --with-curl-path=PATH

[Jeffrey Walton]

I'm trying to build Git and install it in a discardable directory. All
of Git's prereqs have been built and are there.

Git was configured with --with-curl, but it looks like Git cannot find
the cURL built for it (see below). I tried adding -lcurl to LDLIBS but
it does not appear to be honored. cURL is also available from
PKG_CONFIG_PATH, but it does not appear it is being used:

$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/var/sanitize/lib64/pkgconfig pkg-config
--print-provides libcurl
libcurl = 7.64.0

My question is, how can I get the behavior of --with-curl-path=<custom
path>? At the moment the only option offered is --with-curl.

$ make V=1

make: curl-config: Command not found
