One can override the parent directory with --prefix=/some/path

./Configure shared --prefix=/usr <target>
Where target is a named configuration such as "linux-x86_64".

Nothing wrong with this if the platform does not include OpenSSL,
however replacing vendor packages in /usr with possibly incompatible
custom builds can create problems.

One can also override the name of the "lib" sub-directory:
./Configure shared --libdir=lib64 --prefix=/usr <target>
though in the case of the "linux-x86_64" target, this is already
the default (at least in the master branch).
Run "./Configure TABLE" and look for the "multilib" parameter for
the relevant entry. This is automatically appended to "lib" to
form the default "libdir".
