That clears it up, thanks.  'cc-opt' & 'ld-opt' were simply not clear to me.

I removed the --with-openssl= (though those _are_ vanilla sources
...), and added,

 ld-opt="-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl
-lcrypto -ldl -lz"
 cc-opt="-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/ssl/include -I/usr/include"

to ensure both that 'my' ssl libs are found before the system libs,
and the rpath ensures the correct runtime dynamic lib links.

with those, it works,

ldd objs/nginx | egrep "ssl|crypto"
        libssl.so.1.0.0 => /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0 (0xb7849000)
        libcrypto.so.1.0.0 => /usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 (0xb76ca000)

which is exactly what i was looking to do.

actually, i _had_, just a typo in my post, but had failed to search
from TOP_DIR. :-/

in any case, nginx is up & running, and i'm working on configuring
front-end proxy behavior :-)

Thanks!
