Thank you, HTH, for the suggestions!
Yes, patching gcc's connect2 file fixed my problem.
Consider this issue closed.

I don't know SCO in particular, but on most Unixoid C implementations
linker symbol _xyz is C function or variable xyz (without the _).
However, the bad reference is from crt1.o, not (any) part of openssl.
This suggests a problem in your C implementation. Can you compile link
and run a hello-world program with gcc, without openssl at all?
Any other C projects on a scale comparable to openssl?
Googling found a similar-looking problem with subversion (in 2009)
that asserts you need to patch gcc (specifically collect2).
http://www.svnforum.org/threads/36502-Subversion-1-5-5-on-SCO-OpenServer-5-0
-5-**SUCCESS**
OTOH http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/1999-02n/msg00781.html
asserts _init and _fini are provided by crt1.o -- in unspecified version --
while other messages assert crti.o is needed (as well?).
HTH.
