Hi,
   I am seeing the same problem with 0.9.8zh.
config with no-idea and the symlink to the idea.h header file is
not created.  This breaks the compile in multiple places in crypto.
make depend does not create the link when no-idea is configured.

We are building openssl inside a customised build environment so I simply
create the symlink after config is run and prior to running the compile.

Just my pennies worth
