You forgot to show us the very important two lines above the openssl/x509.h
check, where it checks for the two critical ssl libraries:

checking for CRYPTO_lock in -lcrypto... yes
checking for SSL_connect in -lssl... yes

Both of them must be 'yes'.

That's simply because RAND_screen is only documented to exist on win32
systems. Curl doesn't require it, it uses it only if it's present .

I'd guess it is the good old RSAglue/rsaref stuff as mentioned in the INSTALL
file. I think I may have fixed this in my latest configure. If it turns to be
this reason, I'd really like you to try my new configure on your system!
