Dear Ladies and Sirs, a general rule: 
When running the openssl stage
make test   > make.tests.results 2>61

check afterwards the stage for randomizing problems with:

grep -i rand make.tests.results

Note: this stage also needs Gnu bc from ftp.gnu.org built and installed.

And try out (without seeing any error message)
$openssl
OpenSSL> rand -out test.txt 12345
OpenSSL>
OpenSSL>    

Solaris 8 and prior and HP-UX 11.00 and prior do not have a cryptographic
save random seed generator.

To recover from this, there is a nice PRNGD - Pseudo Random Number Generator
Daemon
http://www.aet.tu-cottbus.de/personen/jaenicke/postfix_tls/prngd.html

Compilation is straight forward, the startup machinery is documented with
lots of files in the subdirectories under contrib:
contrib/AIX-3.2
contrib/AIX-4.3
contrib/ATT-NCR
contrib/HPUX
contrib/IRIX-65
contrib/Linux-2
contrib/MacOSX-10
contrib/NeXTStep-3.3
contrib/OSF1
contrib/OSR5
contrib/OpenUNIX-8
contrib/ReliantUNIX
contrib/SCO3
contrib/Solaris-2.6
contrib/Solaris-7
contrib/Solaris-8
contrib/SunOS-4
contrib/Tru64
contrib/Ultrix-4.5
contrib/Unicos
contrib/Unixware-7  

After build, install ans start, openssl works without PRNG or RAND
error messages.
