I think this is completely the wrong path. You should add libressl's include
and library directories to --with-includes=, --with-libraries=.

If there's also a shared version of libressl, you possibly would need to
specify that you'd want to link statically. Something like
-Wl,-Bstatic -lssl -lcrypto -Wl,-Bdynamic

But I suspect that you're better of linking dynamically, specifying
--with-includes= --with-libraries= should provide a path towards that. It's
possible that you should add -Wl,-rpath,/path/to/libressl/lib to the LDFLAGS,
so that the dynamic version can be found at runtime.

Greetings,

Andres Freund
