Could you send me a log of your build? There should not be any warnings,
or at least not plenty of them.
(I'm always trying to make the source compile without warnings on a
GNU/Linux system with most of the gcc warning options activated.)

I'm interested in your config.log file. I switched the configure script
of version 1.4.7 to use the AC_LIB_HAVE_LINKFLAGS macro to detect
libraries. This should either add "-lcrypto" automatically, or omit it
if the linker can handle library dependencies itself (libssl depends on
libcrypto). This seems to fail in your situation.

The SourceForge compile farm hosts with OS X seem to be down
permanently, so I don't have access to OS X myself anymore.
