[xmlsec] Link error on x64 Linux

[Floodeenjr, Thomas]

The problem was that OpenSSL was not configured with the shared option.
When I configure OpenSSL shared for 64-bit Linux, it will build. Strange
that I did not need to configure OpenSSL on 32-bit Linux or Solaris as
shared.

Well, obviously from the error the linker doesn't think that openssl was

compiled with -fPIC
