That *feels* like some other test found another library pointing out the
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu directory for libraries and that's why is used there.
If you search your config.log file, can you figure out why or where that dir
was added to LDFLAGS?

Then of course that works against you when you have OpenSSL in two places and
that directory shouldn't be used for OpenSSL but should be used for one of the
other libraries...
