I build gerbil with:
./configure CFLAGS="-I/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/openssl@3/include" LDFLAGS="-L/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/openssl@3/lib -Wl,-rpath=/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/openssl@3/lib"

This is to force it to use ssl from homebrew, and not the host system ssl.
The resulting binaries for gerbil all work with the proper ssl.
However any project built in gerbil results in the binaries NOT having the RUNPATH/RPATH set.
For now my fix is to just use patchelf to set rpath directly in the generated binary.
patchelf --set-rpath /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/openssl@3/lib .gerbil/bin/kunabi
