I agree with Timothe that this would probably not be that useful in the general case. The other suggestions (like setting up dnsmasq or a custom local resolver) that resolves in this special way would allow all applications to resolve names on the system, not just a single libcurl-using application. Embedded applications often only connect to one or a handful of hosts that CURLOPT_RESOLVE or /etc/hosts would be sufficient to support. But, maybe I'm wrong and there are actually enough embedded systems out there like yours that a more general resolving solution is worthwhile adding, but there would have to be a demonstrable need before a new feature would be added.
