Comment (by hinder):

 A workaround is to set

 OPENSSL_DIR = /usr

 in your optionlist.  It seems that the library and headers are installed
 on Mac OS (possibly as part of the developer tools which are needed anyway
 to compile).  Actually, the OpenSSL.sh script should look there first by
 default if OPENSSL_DIR is unset.  It fails to find the library because it
 looks for a file called libssl.a when it should be looking for
 libssl.dylib.
