Answer 1

CentOS 7 (compatible) - Not compiled it with SSL support. To resolve it:
Step 1
yum remove haproxy
yum install openssl-devel pcre-devel
OR
apt-get install libssl-dev libpcre3
Step 2
Install Haproxy stable
$ wget http://www.haproxy.org/download/1.5/src/haproxy-1.5.3.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf haproxy-1.5.3.tar.gz -C /var/tmp
$ cd /var/tmp/haproxy-1.5.3
$ make TARGET=linux2628 USE_PCRE=1 USE_OPENSSL=1 USE_ZLIB=1 USE_CRYPT_H=1 USE_LIBCRYPT=1
$ make install
$ ./haproxy -vv

Step 3
SSL is now supported
$ ./haproxy -f configfile.cfg

/etc/haproxy/sslkeys/cert.pem: this file should have Private key, Certificate, Intermediate certificate (optional) in one file

I would recommend to use rpm-build instead, at least for all RHEL-like distros
