It's more that there is a loadable object being built to test loading
of dynamicably loadable drivers.  Most of the linking is still done
through $CC.

Also one shouldn't need to add LDFLAGS="-R/opt/OpenSSL/lib".  configure
adds it itself if the platform needs it. --with-openssl=/opt/OpenSSL
should be enough.
