I've tested this before and it didn't work, but I tested it again and
made sure to document it in the same upstream issue I referenced
earlier: https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-21835?focusedCommentId=167192&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-167192

Seems the cmake/ssl.cmake expects to find OpenSSL then given a custom
path, and when it does not, it aborts the build in the configure
stage.
