The flags are for openssl only. It is openssl-1.0.2k in this case.

The OS is CentOS 4.1, the CPU has the ability, but the kernel is  
unable to do ssse3:

model name      :       Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-4620 v2 @ 2.60GHz
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge  
mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht syscall nx lm  
pni cx16 ts

I like to append the options, how do I achieve this?

The machines are rather old to ensure compatiblity for newer machines.  
So upgrading is not an option.

GNU Make 3.80
