openssh unix dev - Nov 2014 - Fw: version question

I am trying to build Openssh 6.7p1 on a Red Hat 5.6 x86_64 system
with Red Hat openssl-0.9.8e-31, which is the latest Red Hat openssl
version. The Openssh build checks openssl versions and requires 0.9.8f.
Is there a work around for this?
    Thanks.

Use 6.6p1, or consider patching the check for openssl version in
openbsd-compat/openssl-compat.h to ignore the failure, on the basis
that RHEL has been backporting patches to openssl for RHEL 5..

Or get the heck off RHEL 5 and hop to RHEL 6, which I'd urge for many
other reasons.

Build a more recent OpenSSL (perhaps configured to make static libraries)
and build OpenSSH against it.
