Then you should probably use the curl-library list instead, as this is the
PHP/CURL list for the PHP extension which doesn't really build but use
libcurl...

You should see your OpenSSL lib and include directories and they should be
populated properly.

I'd rather guess you only have static libs there and those static libs need
something more to be provided for them to link. If you check your config.log
properly after the configure failure you might get some further clues.

No it isn't hardcoded. pkg-config isn't meant to be in your OpenSSL directory.
Google for pkg-config and read up about it!
