affects users - GPL application authors only - of our lib as it comes
included and delivered on some distros.
libcurl has different ABI when built with different SSL/TLS libraries due to
two reasons:
1. No one has worked on fixing this. The mutex/lock callbacks should be set
with a generic libcurl function that should use the proper underlying
functions.
2. The CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION option is not possible to "emulate" on GnuTLS
but simply requires OpenSSL.
Distro Angle of this Problem
A distro can provide separate libcurls built with different SSL/TLS libraries
