the find-hiredis code seems unnecessarily complex; needs a clean/fix, at least
ideally, replace with pkg-config use

Can you provide your distribution information please? I ask, cause it works for me, with hiredis installed from sources on Fedora 31. One difference I noticed from your setup though, is that on Fedora, the libs install into /usr/local/lib, not lib64.

Should not be relevant ... as it's a local build & install, not distro-packaged, and the '--with-libhiredis-*' flags should work regardless of the distro.
that said,
lsb_release -rd
Description: openSUSE Leap 15.1
Release: 15.1

opensuse uses FHS/LSB standardized /.../lib64 as path for 64bit x86 libs, with /.../lib used for 32bit x86 libs. iiuc, RH does as well. not at all sure what Fedora uses.
hiredis is cmake-configurable, and easily installable in proper multiarch-aware libdirs with
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib64
there IS a bug with hiredis pkg-config .pc generation
https://github.com/redis/hiredis/issues/767iiuc, suricata isn't using pkg-config anyway -- and, again, should honor the flags, or bettery yet, use pkg-config.
