Problem building openssl0.9.7f "shared"

[Erik Leunissen]

L.S.
Building openssl with the "shared" option to config, fails on my Linux 
system.
(The observed problem did not occur when building openssl0.9.7e).

I did:
    ./config shared
    make
The last lines from the output from make (those that I considered 
relevant) are appended to this posting.

I did read the remark in the INSTALL file, saying:
    "Shared library is currently an experimental feature."
Can anybody clarify whether a build should be possible? If that should 
be possible, what's gone wrong in my case?

Thanks in advance,
Erik Leunissen
