Well there's no public port of OpenSSL to EPOC32 but there are a couple
of problems anyway.
OpenSSL is currently rather large so the result would be larger than
1Mb.
The second is a problem with EPOC32 itself. For whatever reason its
designers have included a restriction on the use of writable static data
in shared libraries: basically you can't have any. OpenSSL makes
extensive use of writable static data so it would need to be extensively
modified with the various work arounds for this. While this is not
impossible it would be very painful to do and to maintain.
Making a statically linked binary of an OpenSSL application would be
possible however.
