I believe you should be able to say:

# apt-get install libssl-dev

yielding /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.a and libcrypto.a on my arch.

I've been building my own openssl and statically linking it into programs
running on little things like home routers for around a year now.  I assume
you don't want to fiddle with building your own openssl, but I'm happy to
share my makefile magic if so.

I also don't know whether a static build has any legal/licensing
implications on fossil that you'd find undesirable.
