FYI, I've already tried to answer this exact question [1] with no
comments from the OP.

It is I who posted that question. :P

I haven't made any comments yet because this issue is still a work in
progress. I re-compiled OpenSSL taking into consideration that libdl.a
probably wasn't linked properly to libcrypto.a, and have also tried
re-compiling Git afterward, but with the same errors. I have also
created a .conf file for `ld.so`, and ran `sudo ldconfig` which solved
some other issues I was having. Running `ldd msgfmt` revealed that
run-time libraries were not being found, and after running `sudo
ldconfig`, `ldd msgfmt` then showed the libgettext .so was linked. So,
I solved some of my issues, and if there was an issue with statically
linked libraries not being found, as in this case, then, I believe
re-compiling OpenSSL with the proper LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS would have
solved the issue, but they have not.

I'm currently attempting to install GCC 4.7.2, which is having some
other issues with texinfo 5.1. I can't find the link, but I someone
said it could be the compiler version... since everything else that
seems like might be the issue isn't fixing it, I'm going to try
re-compiling OpenSSL with GCC 4.7.2 and see how that goes.
