I'm kind of wondering if you should be trying to use libssl.a at all
on this platform.  Unfortunately, I've forgotten what the suffix
is that you should be using.  (Are there .so files on HPUX?)

My very hazy recollection from dealing with hpux boxes in the past is
that you need a very different set of linker flags to create a shared
object on HPUX.
