openssl-native_1.0.0b.bb do_compile failed

Hi,

I have a problem with building the openssl-native package. Seems like
there is something wrong when liking one of the openssl engines and that
the file openssl.ld is needed.

I'm building the release-2010.12 branch for the ion platform. My host is
a ubuntu 10.10

I traced the culprit down to the following command using strace:
execve("/usr/bin/ld", ["/usr/bin/ld", "--build-id", "--eh-frame-hdr",
"-m", "elf_x86_64", "--hash-style=gnu", "-shared", "-o", "libgost.so",
"-z", "relro",

"/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4.5/../../../../lib/crtn.o"], [/* 102
vars */]) = 0

Seems like this file openssl.ld is needed for the --version-script.
I did a simple test that involved removing the offending linker flag
from the makefile and that did the trick. However it seems to me that
this is a very hackish solution.

Any further ideas?
