An OpenSSL INSTALL note refers to shared libraries as an "experimental"
feature. I was able to build them on Solaris, with the simple change
you noted, and that succeeded at least to the point of working with
imtest/SASL. Going with this would be an easier and cleaner solution
to the current problem, as the alternative will likely involve some
messy hacking with the SASL build system.
