Did you have any problems before OpenSSL 1.0.1d? I think this is an artifact of how I generated the release tarballs with git: this is only the second one I've done and I'm still tweaking it a bit to handle some of the differences compared to cvs. I'll modify the process I'm using to ensure the timestamps of the auto built files are reasonable before creating the tarballs.
