crosscompile libcurl for arm on freeRtos and LWIP - c

Question

I'm trying to cross-compile libcurl from a linux ubuntu x86_64 system.
My target is an embedded platform based on an arm crotex-m4 NXP micro, flash ram and flash memory are not a concern.
AFAIK libcurl does not require a OS to run over but just wanted a UNIX like flavaour TCP_IP stack. To complain with this point I use a port of LWIP tcp-ip stack for my architecture.
In addition I've already built a library (.a) out from FreeRtos + LWIP + drivers and named it libProject_prova1.a (you will find it in the directives)
Then I wrote a shell script to perform the configure step of the make build that shows as follows:
#! /bin/sh

I'm not understanding where the problem is.
redlib.spec is a nxp custom C library, see:
https://community.nxp.com/thread/389152
It's important to use redlib otherwise I will have conflicts with what is defined in LWIP and arm-gnu-none-eabi standard C lib (e.g. redefinition of structure or typedef).
I've tried a simple dumb compilation an linkage to see if I was messing up something in the cpplfags, libs and so on...and noticed that it works.
For this example I did the following:
C source:
#include "lwip/netdb.h"
int main(){
char* name="www.google.it";
gethostbyname(name);
return 0;
}
compiler directives:
export PATH=/usr/local/mcuxpressoide-10.0.2_411/ide/tools/bin:$PATH
