I don't understand.

When you do the final linking of the binary and there is '-lcrypto' on the
line, ld links against libcrypto.so if the link is there and against
libcrypto.a if that is all there is. (You could have libcrypto.so.0 and
libcrypto.so.0.9.6 to make old binaries work because ld does not look for
them).
