> In the makefile created by Perl, the linker binary name is assigned to a variable named LINK. This variable $(LINK) is called to execute the linker call.
> This causes a serious collision with the MS Visual Studio build system which also relies on a variable named LINK:

Are you invoking msbuild.exe to build openssl?  The supported build
