That's fine with me, ( and eventually I will try to modify all the makefiles, but I hoped it would have already been done by configure ( wich obviously has not :)
One way to I got around the shared library version snarl (and this is especially relevant for openssl where I had many versions installed) is to configure the default library runpath to a directory that should be searched first e.g.
crle -l /mylibs:/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/libso that /mylibs will be searched first, then the rest. You can symlink your libraries there. However, be aware that all executables (unless overidden by LD_LIBRARY_PATH) will be affected. I also did this to make dovecot NFS fault tolerant as it didn't depend on shared libraries located on NFS filesystems.
