I very much doubt that is the test that failed.

I strongly suspekt this failed because the directory you told configure to
find OpenSSL in, isn't in your ld.so.conf file, so when configure tries to run
a program (that is linked with OpenSSL now), it fails to run it because ld.so
doesn't find the correct libs.

It is really very simple and you've done it correctly. This little failure is
just a common mistake along the way.
