New submission from Yiyang Zhan :
The instructions in "Custom OpenSSL" section of "Using Python on Unix
platforms" do not work on CentOS 7:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/v3.10.0rc2/Doc/using/unix.rst#custom-openssl.
CPython's ./configure script assumes the OpenSSL's library resides in
"$ssldir/lib". This isn't guaranteed with the current instruction, because
OpenSSL might create for example lib64 for the .so files. See
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/openssl-3.0.0/INSTALL.md#libdir:
> Some build targets have a multilib postfix set in the build configuration.
> For these targets the default libdir is lib. Please use
> --libdir=lib to override the libdir if adding the postfix is undesirable.
Therefore it's better to explicitly set --libdir=lib.
