I doubt the scripts handle a custom openssl well when it's already present,
they're probably buggy in that regard, but without trying it I don't know.

Why are you building openssl? The fact that you're building everything else
without specifying this version may cause trouble, curl and xmlsec for
example. You should be using openssl and libcurl as is, not building them.
They're part of any recent Linux. Failing that, you'd certainly better
specify them to everything else.

You're not going to see any problems until you pull in all that custom code
into an executable. That configure test would be the first time it happens.
Linux links shared libraries to a ham sandwich, it doesn't complain until
the final link step of a real program.
