BoringSSL

build boringssl
$HOME/src is where I put the code in this example. You can pick wherever you like.
$ cd $HOME/src
$ git clone https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl
$ cd boringssl
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE=on ..
$ make
set up the build tree to get detected by curl's configure
In the boringssl source tree root, make sure there is a lib and an include dir. The lib dir should contain the two libs (I made them symlinks into the build dir). The include dir is already present by default. Make and populate lib like this (commands issued in the source tree root, not in the build/ subdirectory).
$ mkdir lib
$ cd lib
$ ln -s ../build/ssl/libssl.a
$ ln -s ../build/crypto/libcrypto.a
configure curl
LIBS=-lpthread ./configure --with-ssl=$HOME/src/boringssl (where I point out the root of the boringssl tree)
Verify that at the end of the configuration, it says it detected BoringSSL to be used.
build curl
Run make in the curl source tree.
Now you can install curl normally with make install etc.
