One thing left to try - a race condition - start building an 
intermediate curl and remove the libssl.so.10 from the buildroot with a 
shell after mock creates the builroot but before curl is building.

If cure then successfully builds, I should have an intermediary curl 
binary I can put in my mock sources to build the real curl so that 
libssl.so.10 isn't pulled in.

I don't like doing that.

I do suspect it is a flaw in how the curl build systems handles -lcrypto
