static binary isn’t linked to a library, but the library is already on the PC. What can I do?

I’m doing a CTF where I need to use a provided static binary of a tool called socat to port forward. I can do it normally, but I wanted to practice using it with the OpenSSL option. The static binary apparently isn’t linked to the OpenSSL library, but the target PC already has OpenSSL installed.

TL;DR

Is there any way to make this work? Or would this only be possible by compiling socat with the link to the OpenSSL library?
