None of these work to enable it. I tried them incrementally, but did
not list them because I don't care about them.

    $ ./config shared enable-pic enable-dso enable-engine enable-afalgeng

This is what I am trying to test... Kernel version greater than 2.6
and less than 4.1.

If the library is going to reject an option, then maybe it should
produce an info, warning or error. Better, honor the configuration and
these problems go away :)
