There's also --with-libssl-prefix when OpenSSL is not in a standard
location. I believe the same option is needed when using an updated
GnuTLS.

(I build against OpenSSL because OpenSSL is easier to update. OpenSSL
has fewer dependencies than GnuTLS. I don't know how
--with-libssl-prefix behaves with GnuTLS).

You might need --with-libssl-prefix on a system like OS X. OS X
provides an antique version OpenSSL 0.9.x, so you usually need to
build and install OpenSSL 1.1.x.

For example:

    # OS X 10.5 (PowerMac)
    $ /usr/bin/openssl version
    OpenSSL 0.9.7l 28 Sep 2006

    # OS X 10.9
    $ /usr/bin/openssl version
    OpenSSL 0.9.8zg 14 July 2015

    # OS X 10.12
    $ /usr/bin/openssl version
    OpenSSL 0.9.8zh 14 Jan 2016
