That makes total sense.  However, it still doesn't work.  The manual 
for ld says:

The flags are -L/usr/local/lib -lcrypto.  So you would think that it 
will use /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.a and not /usr/lib/libcrypto.dylib.

What compiler version ate you using on the Mac?  What version of the 
OS?  I am using Mac OS 10.2.6 and gcc (GCC) 3.1 20020420 (prerelease).

I even built openssl with the "shared" option.  So I have also 
/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.dylib and it still doesn't work.

I can do one of the following:

1.  Move /usr/lib/libcrypto.dylib to /tmp and back
2.  Configure xmlsec without the openssl prefix, in which case it will 
use 0.9.6
3.  Configure openssl with prefix /usr/lib.

However, it would still be helpful to find out why it's working for 
you. but not for me.

Thanks,
