My suggestion: grab the current Fedora SRPM and see if you can build it
on RHEL5.  That way you'll have an RPM rather than some loose files,
which is a whole lot friendlier to manage on Red Hat-based systems.

FWIW, neither the RHEL5 nor the Fedora specfiles do anything special as
regards SSL.  What they *do* do is blow away the rather obsolete libtool
and autoconf stuff included in the psqlodbc package and replace them
with current-for-the-distro tools.  I suspect your issue above traces
to something the old autoconf script did wrong.  Or maybe you just
forgot to install openssl-devel.
