I think a sufficient requirement is that files in the source tree that
are relative links need to be recreated as relative links within the
platform dependent directory. If you just leave out the "-o -type l"
you won't make any of the links, and the include/openssl directory will
be empty, which will fail. Of course your source directory needs to be
absent any residual configuration -- which would cause the script to
make links to files that would be created by Configure and might then
cause subsequent Configures to update the source tree version.
Overall, I think I prefer (modern) make's VPATH, but i'm not sure that
that fits your requirements for portability.
