It seems that Linux decompressors also have the problem with that
symlinks too.
Or links are actually broken (md2test.c, for example, points to
"openssl-1.0.2e/dummytest.c").
I decompressed the archive with proposed "tar xvf
openssl-1.0.2e.tar.gz".
OS can't follow the symlinks because "the link is broken".
Please see screenshot attached.
Debian v8.1, tar v1.27.1
