Can you send your linker command.  What from the OpenSSL64/lib
directory do you link to?

Below is your compiler command, but it's my linker that's failing.

I have the include files.

I think I need the .a files or equivalent, but I prefer to use the 
Shining Light install.  If I get a private copy from you, I have to
distribute it.

Besides the process and legal issues, it doesn't feel right to
distribute security code that I got via email from an unknown
person with the email name 'sfhacker'.  :-)
