No, sometimes when building OpenSSL on hpux1123 libssl.so library
has dependency on libcrypto.so but in form: ./libcrypto.so.0.9.8
And when build process goes to apps directory there is
no such library (in current directory) and build fails.
Againg, check with ldd command libssl.so.0.9.8 library
in build directory.

On hpux1123 there was many application with its on OpenSSL bundled
(Apache, WBEM, some administration utilities) maybe some of this
libraries are for example for HPPA (but on other hand you will
get some ABI errors then). Look for libcrypto* in /opt and /usr.
