I'll give it a guess. The 'engine' release of OpenSSL requires dynamic
loading, while the normal release does not.
You therefore won't see any relation to OpenSSH.
One could add -ldl (-ldld for some platforms) to the OpenSSH build process:
the next major release of 0.9.7 will use dynamic loading anyway.
0.9.7 shared libraries will be built against -ldl, so this problem will
not pop up too often. I am not sure whether I should recommend adding
-ldl (or -ldld) generally.

Best regards,
