No, you want an actual path so that "make install" will succeed.
The point is that then you can tar up that installation tree
(relative to its top) and untar it somewhere else.

No, and are you really sure you want that?  Then it's on you to
rebuild and redistribute, pronto, every time openssl issues a security
fix.  There's a reason why most Linux distros forbid static linking of
libraries from different sources.
