How to build git-remote-http properly?

I have built git from sources, but git-remote-http[s] does not work: it sends invalid data.

https://gist.github.com/667250

While normal (the one from deb package) sends a thing like this: %%% 0084f4ff491badd7290e3bcc83b7e783b0b34b8fa5ce 157b8e24592ee8a587da4aa19ae0d2b5395308dc refs/heads/master. report-status side-band-64k0000PACK..........x....<truncated>

%%% from-souce git-remote-http sends things like this: %%% 0084f4ff491badd7290e3bcc83b7e783b0b34b8fa5ce 157b8e24592ee8a587da4aa19ae0d2b5395308dc refs/heads/master.....!..........I0..I...I............!............... ...8...P...h..................I.......................I.......................I............`...`......I.......................I.......................I.......................I.....................................................a..............(.......p...http.....

%%% which causes http backend to reject the garbage and remote-http hangs or reports error.

What cause it? How to investigate/fix? May be there should be a test for git-remote-http integrity?

Have found the problem right after sending the letter: /usr/local/lib contained bad libcurl/libexpat. Removing them immediately fixed things.
