If you want to compile your own version of OpenSSL you may try:

(32-bit version with gcc)
$ gzip -dc openssl-0.9.8e.tar.gz | tar xf -
$ cd openssl-0.9.8e
$ ./Configure threads --prefix=/usr/local/security/openssl-0.9.8e aix-gcc
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
$ file apps/openssl
apps/openssl: executable (RISC System/6000) or object module not stripped

(64-bit version with gcc)
$ gzip -dc openssl-0.9.8e.tar.gz | tar xf -
$ cd openssl-0.9.8e
$ ./Configure threads --prefix=/usr/local/security/openssl-0.9.8e 
aix64-gcc -maix64
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
$ file apps/openssl
apps/openssl: 64-bit XCOFF executable or object module not stripped

(32-bit version with IBM XL C)
$ ./Configure threads --prefix=/usr/local/security/openssl-0.9.8e aix-cc
$ file apps/openssl
apps/openssl: executable (RISC System/6000) or object module not stripped

(64-bit version with IBM XL C)
$ ./Configure threads --prefix=/usr/local/security/openssl-0.9.8e aix64-cc
$ file apps/openssl
apps/openssl: executable (RISC System/6000) or object module not stripped


or you may download current binary distribution from:
https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/preLogin.do?source=aixbp
and then:

# pwd
/var/tmp/sw
# mkdir openssl; cd openssl
# gzip -dc ../openssl.9.8.601.tar.Z | tar xvf -
# installp -ac -Y -d /var/tmp/sw/openssl all
