This issue is not specific to FFmpeg, and therefore should not be solved
from inside FFmpeg, this is an issue of correctly configuring the compiler
so that the newly installed library is in the default search path.

I am not very fond of wrapper libraries that wrap around wrapper libraries.
If the only benefit of clew is to... I do not understand what, actually,
maybe just that:

+#ifdef _WIN32
+    const char *path = "OpenCL.dll";
+#elif defined(__APPLE__)
+    const char *path = "/Library/Frameworks/OpenCL.framework/OpenCL";
+#else
+    const char *path = "libOpenCL.so";
+#endif

... then you are wasting your time, just write a shell script that produces
a pkg-config file and be done with it.
