  --cross-compile-prefix=PREFIX
                   The PREFIX to include in front of commands for your
                   toolchain. For example to build the mingw64 target on Linux
                   you might use "--cross-compile-prefix=x86_64-w64-mingw32-".
                   If the compiler is gcc, then this will attempt to run
                   x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc when compiling.
                   toolchain. It's likely to have to end with dash, e.g.
                   a-b-c- would invoke GNU compiler as a-b-c-gcc, etc.
                   Unfortunately cross-compiling is too case-specific to
                   put together one-size-fits-all instructions. You might
                   have to pass more flags or set up environment variables
                   to actually make it work. Android and iOS cases are
                   discussed in corresponding Configurations/10-main.cf
                   sections. But there are cases when this option alone is
                   sufficient. For example to build the mingw64 target on
                   Linux "--cross-compile-prefix=x86_64-w64-mingw32-"
                   works. Naturally provided that mingw packages are
                   installed. Today Debian and Ubuntu users have option to
                   install a number of prepackaged cross-compilers along
                   with corresponding run-time and development packages for
                   "alien" hardware. To give another example
                   "--cross-compile-prefix=mipsel-linux-gnu-" suffices
                   in such case. Needless to mention that you have to
                   invoke ./Configure, not ./config, and pass your target
                   name explicitly.

  --debug
                   Build OpenSSL with debugging symbols.
