How to tell Autoconf "require symbol A or B" from LIB? - symbols

Question

I'm trying to configure Postgres 9.5.4 for OpenSSL 1.1.0. Configure is dying because it can't find SSL_library_init in OpenSSL 1.1.0. OpenSSL 1.1.0 provides OPENSSL_init_ssl instead of SSL_library_init. So Autoconf needs to check for either SSL_library_init or OPENSSL_init_ssl.
Postgres uses the following test:
AC_CHECK_LIB(ssl, SSL_library_init, [], [AC_MSG_ERROR([library 'ssl' is required for OpenSSL])])
How do I modify that [rule?] to look for either SSL_library_init or OPENSSL_init_ssl?
Naively, I changed configure.in to the following, which did not work. The best I can tell, my changes were ignored (even after running autoreconf):
AC_CHECK_LIB(ssl, SSL_library_init|OPENSSL_init_ssl, [], [AC_MSG_ERROR([library 'ssl' is required for OpenSSL])])
Here is the Postgrs configure command:
$ ./configure --with-openssl --with-includes=/usr/local/ssl/include --with-libraries=/usr/local/ssl/lib
Here is the relevant entry from config.log:
configure:8732: gcc -o conftest -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith
-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -Wmissing-format-attribute

configure:8751: error: library 'ssl' is required for OpenSSL

Answer 1

Something like this should work out for you:
ACCEPT_SSL_LIB="no"
AC_CHECK_LIB(ssl, OPENSSL_init_ssl, [ACCEPT_SSL_LIB="yes"])
AC_CHECK_LIB(ssl, SSL_library_init, [ACCEPT_SSL_LIB="yes"])
AS_IF([test "x$ACCEPT_SSL_LIB" = xno], [AC_MSG_ERROR([library 'ssl' is required for OpenSSL])])
You may need another variable to tell you what init function to call, to set up SSL, unless there's some macro magic in a header file that will actually fix it up to the right value.

To build upon #ldav1s' answer, here are the changes to configure.in required to get past configuration. Once configure.in is modified, autoreconf should be run.
$ git diff configure.in > configure.in.diff
$ cat configure.in.diff
diff --git a/configure.in b/configure.in
index c878b4e..7ba7538 100644

+++ b/configure.in

dnl Order matters!
if test "$PORTNAME" != "win32"; then
