No, that's just how configure creates a prototype for the function. It should
still manage to link properly, which is what it does when it tries to figure
out if it can use the lib in the directory you've specified.

If I remember correctly, the static libssl lib might require other libs on the
command line that you need to provide (-ldl seems to pop up in my head but I'm
not sure). If you try to link the same program configure tries with the same
options, I'm sure ld will tell you why it fails and then you can rectify the
problem...
