You need to move the -L... option from the CFLAGS to either the LDFLAGS
or the LIBS line - and you need to set it correctly for your system.
Most likely, -L/usr/local/ssl/lib will be correct for you.

Erik - the jumbo patch is wrong in its placing of the -L... into CFLAGS.
It should be in LDFLAGS or LIBS.  The reason this was not noticed before
is that most modern systems have OpenSSL libs in the default search paths.
