Pekka Savola already commented on the possibility of an old SSL installation
in the standard path.
This however should not apply here. If there is a not-working OpenSSL,
configure will go on to the next location, which would be the specified one.

Anyway, configure logs everything it does (especially the failures) to
config.log. Please check for the error message when examining /usr/local/ssl.
