The last problem of this type I saw was caused because there was an old
libcrpyto.so and a new libcrypto.a (or vice versa, I forget) in the same
ssl/lib directory.

It might be picking up libcrypto from somewhere other than where you
expect. Try:

$ find / -name 'libcrypto.*' -print

usually comes from bad judgement.
