Unfortunately I think this is another case of Red Hat-caused problems that
they impose on others that they will not solve.

I believe the fix to this problem is that our configure script must use
'pkg-config --cflags openssl' and use those compiler options when we compile
source files that use openssl.

I'm not familiar with the pkg-config concept or who's behind that format. I
suppose that one could argue that curl should support or generate data for it
as well (and if anyone has info/code/patches/clues to provide here, then
please speak up).

I would be very happy if someone with a pkg-config setup to work like
explained above could work out a configure.in patch for this, or possibly if
someone could provide me with a temporary login on such a machine so that I
can work one out. I'd hate to release a 7.10.4 that doesn't build on redhat
8.1 because of this...
