Debian does not use /lib64 paths, so it's correct to not detect this on
Debian.  (They're explicitly forbidden by Debian Policy in favor of using
multiarch.)  This seems like a bug in OpenSSL that nontheless it installed
itself in <prefix>/lib64, presumably assuming the whole world is Red Hat.

If we want to work around this bug, we need different logic for
RRA_SET_LDFLAGS than for RRA_SET_LIBDIR, since it's incorrect on this
system for the latter to use /lib64, but the former should presumably fall
back to /lib64 if /lib is not present.

I assume you were using --with-openssl.  You can work around this with
--with-openssl-libs, but it would probably be better if you didn't have to
if OpenSSL does this everywhere.
