See the docs/INSTALL document.

--with-ssl= expects a path to a directory tree that includes include/ and
lib/ subdirectories. You must ensure that your OpenSSL installation looks
like that if you give a path to --with-ssl. If your libraries are in the
"standard" location for your cross-compiler, then you shouldn't need to
give a path at all.

If you have a pre-built OpenSSL development library and include files for
your target, you shouldn't have to compile it yourself again. However,
you will probably want to regardless to compile out all the unneeded SSL
features to reduce the size of your binary.
