            Bug ID: 2261
           Summary: configure looks in /usr/local for OpenSSL and zlib,
                    even when --with-ssl-dir and --with-zlib are set
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 6.6p1
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Build system
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: sconeu at yahoo.com

When configure checks for zlib, it automaticaly prepends /usr/local/lib
to the linker search path, even when --with zlib is set.  This messes
up cross compiles on HP Nonstop.

Similarly, when it's checking for OpenSSL, it does the same thing, even
when --with-ssl-dir is set.

Configure should check use the withval's for zlib and OpenSSL, and only
if they're not specified, use /usr/local/[whatever].

Or alternatively, at least put /usr/local at the END of the library
search path instead of the front.

This not uncommon. I suspect it is in the autoconf code to always put
it there as a possibility. However, looking through many config.log
files I do believe it is convention to look at the --with... variables
first.
What I have also needed to do is add LDFLAGS to get the linking to do
what I want/expect - this is how I have been able to keep
/usr/local/anything out of anything I package.
