Code that utilizes crypto extensions is compiled with -march=armv7-a by
default. Or maybe "assembled" is more accurate term.

If some custom engine requires such command line option, it can be used
when compiling the engine. OpenSSL doesn't have to be.

See commentary in linux-armv4 section just few lines above. In your case
default configuration with ./config produces perfectly adequate output,
also modulo -mtune argument. Suggested modifications hardly add any value...
