Undefined reference when compiling OpenSSL - gcc

Question

I'm not sure what to do here, I ran make and got this:
make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/openssl-1.0.1/test'
( :; LIBDEPS="${LIBDEPS:--L.. -lssl -L.. -lcrypto -ldl}"; LDCMD="${LDCMD:-gcc}"; LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS:--DOPENSSL_THREADS -D_REENTRANT -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -fno-exceptions -Wa,--noexecstack -m64 -DL_ENDIAN -DTERMIO -O3 -Wall -DOPENSSL_IA32_SSE2 -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_MONT -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_MONT5 -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_GF2m -DSHA1_ASM -DSHA256_ASM -DSHA512_ASM -DMD5_ASM -DAES_ASM -DVPAES_ASM -DBSAES_ASM -DWHIRLPOOL_ASM -DGHASH_ASM}"; LIBPATH=`for x in $LIBDEPS; do echo $x; done | sed -e 's/^ *-L//;t' -e d | uniq`; LIBPATH=`echo $LIBPATH | sed -e 's/ /:/g'`; LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBPATH:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LDCMD} ${LDFLAGS} -o ${APPNAME:=rc4test} rc4test.o ${LIBDEPS} )
rc4test.o: In function `main':
rc4test.c:(.text+0x30): undefined reference to `OPENSSL_cpuid_setup'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [link_app.] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/openssl-1.0.1/test'
make[1]: *** [rc4test] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/openssl-1.0.1/test'
make: *** [build_tests] Error 1
I think this is a gcc thing, but I am not sure how to approach this. Should I be compiling this manually?

I ran into the same problem, and was able to solve it by passing adding -DOPENSSL_PIC to the config call:
./config -fPIC -DOPENSSL_PIC
