I have no problems in using openssl on Linux/Alpha (RedHat 5.2),
using the current CVS sources (last tested 19990314),
except that after doing 'sh config' I need the following patch:
--- Makefile.asm Mon Mar 15 11:59:54 1999
+++ Makefile Mon Mar 15 12:02:06 1999

# Set BN_ASM to bn_asm.o if you want to use the C version
-BN_ASM= asm/alpha.o
+BN_ASM= bn_asm.o
#BN_ASM= bn_asm.o
#BN_ASM= asm/bn86-elf.o # elf, linux-elf
to compile the C bignum code. After that, make test concludes fine.
In case you're using RedHat Linux, check out
http://www.engelschall.com/sw/mod_ssl/contrib/
and try
openssl-0.9.2-0_1999_03_14.alpha.rpm
openssl-devel-0.9.2-0_1999_03_14.alpha.rpm
