GNU libmicrohttpd use libcurl only for testing.
So, if you already have latest libcurl, you can run "make check" with MHD.

But I suspect that problem comes from outdated RHEL5 GnuTLS lib.
MHD on git master is able to use modern GnuTLS without gcrypt. As next
step I suggest to build latest GnuTLS on RHEL5 and build MHD with modern
GnuTLS.
