Hi,
I think I’ve identified a problem. I’ve built LibreSSL for iOS (arm64), iOS 
Simulator (x86_64 and arm64), macOS Catalyst  (x86_64 and arm64) and macOS  
(x86_64 and arm64) (blog post 
<http://www.saers.com/dbclient/blog/files/libressl-xcframework.html> - GitHub 
repo <https://github.com/build-xcframeworks/libressl> - binaries 
<https://github.com/build-xcframeworks/libressl/releases>), and I now want to 
compile FreeTDS for these architectures. But when doing so, I run into:

checking for OPENSSL... no
configure: error: Cannot find OpenSSL libraries

However, if I take out the configure line

if test "$cross_compiling" != "yes"; then I have myself a well-building 
freetds. Or at least, that’s what I assume. :-) Could we change this 
configure message to, rather than just not building for OpenSSL when 
cross-compiling, only accepting the passed directory value instead of also 
looking at /usr/local/ssl, /usr/lib/ssl, /usr/ssl, /usr/pkg, /usr/local and 
/usr when cross-compiling? Are there other drawbacks I’m missing?

Cheers
