It's possible that the libraries are missing, but apparently the header
files were found in /usr/include/openssl so I'm expecting the libraries
to be around somewhere.

Yes, it's doing a 64-bit build, so it's the amd64/ or sparcv9/ bit
that's missing: it only checks in ${prefix}/lib64 and ${prefix}/lib at
the moment.
Note that it is the location of the libcrypto.a file that I'm after (not
the .so file). Does that change anything?

Where would the 'openssl' executable be in that case? Is there a
/usr/sfw/bin? The build script looks for a 'openssl' somewhere and takes
$prefix to be the parent directory of that location. (E.g. If 'openssl'
is in /usr/bin then $prefix is taken to be /usr, and it looks for
headers in /usr/include/openssl and libraries in /usr/lib64 or /usr/lib)
