I guess the problerm is that openssl exists on your system, but it has
not been installed as a regular package.
I ran ./configure on a regular x86-64 Linux system, and checked config.log:
configure:8867: checking for OPENSSL
configure:8874: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "openssl"
configure:8877: $? = 0
configure:8890: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "openssl"
configure:8893: $? = 0
configure:8936: result: yes
Apparently, nobody assumed there would be systems which do have openssl,
but not installed as a regular package recognised by pkg-config.
To make the check work for systems where openssl is installed locally,
something similar to rexgen check is required.
Just test
./configure --enable-rexgen
on a regular x86* system.
I.e., configure could try to compile a minimal test program using some
library functions of the openssl lib and check whether this succeeds or
fails.
