When compiling a collection of SSL libraries to link against (SSL_LIBS),
ensure all libraries are included. The call `--libs-only-l` can produce
only a subset of found in a `--libs` call (e.x. pthread may be excluded).
Adding `--libs-only-other` ensures other libraries are also included in
the list. This corrects select build environments compiling against a
static version of OpenSSL. Before the change, the following could be
observed:
checking for openssl options with pkg-config... found
configure: pkg-config: SSL_LIBS: "-lssl -lz -ldl -lcrypto -lz -ldl "
configure: pkg-config: SSL_LDFLAGS: "-L/home/jdknight/<workdir>/staging/usr/lib -L/home/jdknight/<workdir>/staging/usr/lib "
configure: pkg-config: SSL_CPPFLAGS: "-I/home/jdknight/<workdir>/staging/usr/include "
checking for HMAC_Update in -lcrypto... no
checking for HMAC_Init_ex in -lcrypto... no
checking OpenSSL linking with -ldl... no
checking OpenSSL linking with -ldl and -lpthread... no
configure: WARNING: SSL disabled, you will not be able to use HTTPS, FTPS, NTLM and more.
configure: WARNING: Use --with-ssl, --with-gnutls, --with-polarssl, --with-cyassl, --with-nss, --with-axtls, --with-winssl, or --with-darwinssl to address this.
...
SSL support: no (--with-{ssl,gnutls,nss,polarssl,mbedtls,cyassl,axtls,winssl,darwinssl} )
...
And include the other libraries when compiling SSL_LIBS succeeds with:
checking for openssl options with pkg-config... found
configure: pkg-config: SSL_LIBS: "-lssl -lz -ldl -pthread -lcrypto -lz -ldl -pthread "
configure: pkg-config: SSL_LDFLAGS: "-L/home/jdknight/<workdir>/staging/usr/lib -L/home/jdknight/<workdir>/staging/usr/lib "
configure: pkg-config: SSL_CPPFLAGS: "-I/home/jdknight/<workdir>/staging/usr/include "
checking for HMAC_Update in -lcrypto... yes
checking for SSL_connect in -lssl... yes
...
SSL support: enabled (OpenSSL)

This issue was observed in an environment where OpenSSL package (v1.1.1) was being built as a static-only library (
./config no-dso no-shared ...). Adding the option--libs-only-otherto the pkg-config check allowed libcurl to build with (at least) the following options set:And the following environment variables set:
It is assumed the introduction of the argument
--libs-only-otheris not an issue since it has been available inpkg-configsince v0.24 (~8 years ago).This may also relate to #567.
