Compiling PHP 7.4 with support for non-native OpenSSL

Hello. I run an Ubuntu server with PHP 7.2.24, PHP 7.3.11 and PHP 7.4.0RC6, primarily alongside Nginx via PHP-FPM. I compile PHP from source, and I bake in the latest OpenSSL (1.1.1d at the time of writing) among other things. For PHP 7.2 and 7.3, I can achieve this. For PHP 7.4, I cannot. I think I must be doing something wrong, because PHP reverts (?) to the system-native OpenSSL (1.1.1 at the time of writing). There were no errors thrown during the compile on any of the three versions. I would be most grateful for additional eyes / brains, and any pointers for further reading or areas to investigate as I have run out of ideas. I have full root access to everything and I’ve just built a test server from scratch to make sure I’m not seeing things. Thank you in advance for any advice or feedback.
