Never seems to take that long on my machines, except that it's a bit slow on
my SS2 (like a fast 486), and maybe a bit too long on my dual proc SS20
(each proc is about twice as fast as the SS2). The latter is because most
.spec files don't take advantage of parallel make.

Looks like the make install section is failing because some file or
directory didn't get installed. I'd try going into the BUILD directory, and
re-issuing 'make clean' and then 'make' and finally 'make install' and watch
the output for any errors. I have never managed to get OpenSSL to build on
anything other than i386, but maybe somebody on the OpenSSL list has had
other luck.

No, it needs to make sure that it's starting with a clean build environment.
Rebuild is one of the pieces that it cleans up before running, there are
other sections that you can short circut to.
