Thanks to all who replied with suggestions. It turned out to be something completely different. I had used PKZIP to unzip and untar the distribution tarball and - surprise! - rather than creating links (Windows shortcuts) where appropriate, it creates 0-byte files! That meant that all of the header files in ./openssl/include were empty - not much surprise that it caused compilation problems. Even though config attempts to reestablish the "links" (shortcuts), the attempts fail because the targets already exist (sort of). I nuked all the 0-byte files I could find and re-ran config, after which make ran without a hitch.
