Per IAN's comment - I tried building openssl on another x64 system
using ./config
shared instead of just ./config (builds static library) so that it would
try to use -fPIC.  After installing and creating an
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/openssl-101.conf pointing to /usr/local/ssl/lib
(configure pukes without this - it can't find libssl.so.1.0.0 even with an
explicit --with-ssl-dir) ... configure works as advertised without telling
it --without-pie, and make test is 'all tests passed'.  Perhaps a quick
check to see if libssl is a static or shared library would be in order
before asking for a slice of pie? ;p

Brought that VM back up (admittedly I didn't look too deep at this one -
was trying to get through the test suite first), looking at those files I
see this:

# ls -alrt failed-*
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          308 Aug 25 09:05 failed-ssh.log
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          236 Aug 25 09:05 failed-sshd.log
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           89 Aug 25 09:05 failed-regress.log

FAIL: ssh connect after login grace timeout failed without privsep

Need to dig through my email archives - I would swear this is a
(previously fixed) race in the test suite where it wasn't waiting properly.

Awesome.
