I changed it to better support OpenSSL directories in non-default paths:
https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/commit/26cab41c05

Just reversing the search path order will cause other problems,
though, since there is no guarantee the bin/openssl in a non-default
location is functional (eg if its libraries are not in the system
default runtime linker path and it's built without -rpath, which it's
usually not).

usually comes from bad judgement.
