Apologies for not using bugzilla, but time is short:

Trying to configure openssh-3.0.1p1 from source on a Linux Mandrake system
with a freshly built openssl-engine-0.9.6b, using the command
./configure --with-ipv4-default --with-md5-passwords
fails with the error message "Could not find working OpenSSL library."

The config.log shows that the problem is due to unresolved references
to dlopen, etc. from libcrypto.a.  Adding -ldl to -lcrypto in the configure
script fixes this for me.

Note that the problem does not occur if you configure --with-pam, since that
adds -ldl already.
