yes - that's same issue; I did delete my source tree, and extracted from 
MSYS with:
tar xfhz openssl-1.0.0b.tar.gz
then patched with RT #2374 (thanks Steve for committing!), and 
compilation went to end including test binaries.

If we cant get this issue fixed with release tarballs I'd suggest that 
we at least just *now* add this important hint to INSTALL.W32:

--- INSTALL.W32.orig    2010-07-09 14:31:41 +0000
+++ INSTALL.W32 2010-11-19 05:31:26 +0000

     MinGW and MSYS are available from http://www.mingw.org/, both are
     required. Run the installers and do whatever magic they say it takes
     to start MSYS bash shell with GNU tools on its PATH.
+   Since the release tarballs contain symlinks which MSYS cant deal with
+   you must use tar with the -h option to dereference the symlinks:
+   tar xfhz openssl-x.y.zr.tar.gz

   * Compile OpenSSL:

that might probably avoid some more RTs in future ...

I did also test mingw32-cross on a SuSE 11.1 box, and that went fine too 
(with symlinks) after patched with RT #2374.

thanks, Günter.
