If it is looking for libssl.pc then it is using pkg-config to get the
CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS to use for openssl.

Search the Makefiles for  pkg-config openssl --cflags --libs or the
variable substituted equivalent, then patch it to suit. If you want to
use the system openssl then manually adding -lssl -lcrypto where it adds
the result from pkg-config should work.
