Both Franchise and Autoconf seem to have this problem. I specified configure --with-static-libs --without-libwww --without-libcurl --without-haskeline and both configure scripts gave me haskeline. Franchise also used libwww.

Thanks for your report, and apologies for the slow response. Can you still reproduce this problem with the current Darcs release? There is a known problem with statically linking libcurl (issue806), though it may only affect some OS distributions. Our current roadmap will result in the autoconf build framework being deprecated in the next release (Darcs 2.3), and abandoned thereafter. Instead we are working on the Cabal-based build framework. Because of this, I will WONTFIX this issue, but if you can provide some more information and I can fix it easily, it might get into a 2.2.1 bugfix release (if there is one).
