Yup, that's a bug in the LinkEditor (ld for the Unixly impaired :-)).
I've complained about it to Apple more than a year ago (and they
confirmed the problem, but seem not to want to fix it), and I
encourage others to do the same.  The problem is described in great
detail in the file PROBLEMS (first item), along with possible
solutions (adapted for OpenSSL itself, but with a bit of thought, you
can apply the same knowledge to any other software).
