Actually, thanks for that suggestion, I just look at the config.log and discover
the real error:

....
 configure:2862: gcc -o conftest -L/usr/local/sshdist/lib
-L/usr/local/sshdist/ssl/lib -I/usr/local/sshdist -I/usr/local/sshdist/ssl
-I/usr/local/sshdist/incl   1219 ld: FATAL 12: Expecting 32-bit objects:
/usr/local/sshdist/lib/libcrypto.a is 64-bit.
  configure: failed program was:
...

This is happening for all the ssl tests so I have 32-bit binaries fighting with
64-bit binaries.... Nice jungle! Probably I could do it.

Thanks!
