Subject: 2.38.0 rc1 and explicit openssl version
Message-ID: <CA+4x=b-myNFKfN1n1jrU+wMYfXbA7VrnrKVi7vj9LU4E9wb_rw@mail.gmail.com>

I built 2.38.0 rc1 from the tar file today.  One of the configure
options I used was "--with-openssl=<path>/openssl/3.0.5".  As
expected, configure reported
    configure: Setting OPENSSLDIR to<path>/openssl/3.0.5

When it got as far as linking git-imap-send, the link command pointed
at the subdirectory "lib" within the openssl/3.0.5 installation.
    gcc ... -o git-imap-send ...  -L<path>/openssl/3.0.5/lib ...

However, this version of openssl put the libraries into a "lib64"
subdirerctory rather than into a "lib" subdirectory so the link
failed.  An easy workaround is to put a symlink from lib64 to lib
inside the openssl directory.  It would be nice, though, if the
configure command could figure this out automatically.
