Actually, my bad - the PR I linked was submitted a year earlier. I don't know if this issue
still occurs because my project hasn't used mbedtls for several years (we use OpenSSL now).

As I recall, it was fixed in this PR: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/2749

Is this still an issue with any of the actively supported PHP
versions[1]?  If so, consider to submit a pull request[2].

Description:
------------
libcurl has libs.private in its pkg-config configuration. When attempting to statically compile curl
+ mbedtls with PHP, the compile process fails because statically linked libraries are not included
in the configure. ext/curl does not include the necessary --static flag when calling pkg-config for
libcurl.

I'm trying to build curl with mbedtls support and pkg-config statically, and the build fails
because mbedtls is not linked against.

I have been working around this by forcing usage of curl-config, which works as expected.

Expected result:
----------------
PHP should be able to compile successfully with statically compiled and linked curl + mbedtls

Actual result:
--------------
compile failure.
