I mentioned earlier that changing SHLIB_LINK might be helpful.

The patch that turns out to be needful for crypto is the following:

Index: Makefile

+SHLIB_LINK += $(filter -lssl -lcrypto -lssleay32 -leay32, $(LIBS))

In effect, we need to take LIBS, which contains all the libraries
pulled in as "defaults" for builds of objects in the main tree, filter
that against the 4 crypto libraries, and add them to the set of libs
we need to link with (e.g. - SHLIB_LINK).

I'm not sure what libraries gettext draws in; supposing it adds, to a
build of psql, -lgettext, then you might also add the line:

SHLIB_LINK += $(filter -lgettext, $(LIBS))
