because it's used by $(call gb_LinkTarget_use_package,$(1),curl), from
gb_LinkTarget__use_curl.

but the problem is that the package is not defined i.e.
external/curl/ExternalPackage_curl.mk is not read, because CURL is not
in BUILD_TYPE, because of this bit of configure.ac:

elif test $_os = iOS; then
    # Let's see if we need curl, I think not?
    AC_MSG_RESULT([none])
    ENABLE_CURL=

that was added in 2013.

so perhaps meanwhile there are new uses of curl that are not optional
even on iOS? maybe the ENABLE_CURL thing can be removed?
