Due to the patch below, the x86_64 build breaks with gcc 7.3.x
This issue is specific to openembedded kernel builder.

We have also noticed on mainline, Linux next and now on stable-rc 5.10.

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.host:95: scripts/extract-cert] Error 1

Subject: scripts: use pkg-config to locate libcrypto

commit 2cea4a7a1885bd0c765089afc14f7ff0eb77864e upstream.

Otherwise build fails if the headers are not in the default location. While at
it also ask pkg-config for the libs, with fallback to the existing value.
