I don't see that happening here ...

$ ldd libpq.so.5.14
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffea6b41000)
        libssl.so.1.1 => /lib64/libssl.so.1.1 (0x00007fc3be4b1000)

        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fc3be991000)

It seems likely that there's some oddity in your build environment.
Maybe the libssl.so and libcrypto.so symlinks aren't present?  Or take
a close look at the command that links libpq.so, and see if any odd
switches have crept in.
