During configuration you need to specify whether you want shared
libraries or archive files (./configure --shared).  You can convert an
archive file to a shared object by doing this:

gcc -o libssl.so --shared libssl.a
gcc -o libcrypto.so --shared libcrypto.a

Try that first, and if that fails for some reason.  Rebuild with the
--shared flag.
