[libssh2] Questions about Libssh2 on a Sun Platform

Hi,

I have build libssh2 on a SUN platform (uname -a gives "SunOS sun10i
5.10 Generic_118855-33 i86pc i386 i86pc"), using openssl for the
cryptographic operations. The following are the steps I have performed
to do a build:

1) Build openssl. The openssl config and make produces the libcrypto.so
and libssl.so libraries

2) Build libssh2:

a) Run configure CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc --disable-rpath CFLAGS="-m64"
LDFLAGS="-L/work/openssl-0.9.8e" LIBS="-lcrypto". Note, the only library
that I have specified through the LIBS flag is libcrypto.so

b) make

Once libssh2 is build, I ran ldd on libssh2.so to list the dependent
libraries:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/work/openssl-0.9.8e ldd src/.libs/libssh2.so

        libssl.so.0.9.8 => /work/openssl-0.9.8e/libssl.so.0.9.8

        libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => /work/openssl-0.9.8e/libcrypto.so.0.9.8

        libdl.so.1 => /lib/64/libdl.so.1

        libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/64/libz.so.1

        libnsl.so.1 => /lib/64/libnsl.so.1

        libsocket.so.1 => /lib/64/libsocket.so.1

        libc.so.1 => /lib/64/libc.so.1

        libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/sfw/lib/libgcc_s.so.1

        libmp.so.2 => /lib/64/libmp.so.2

        libmd5.so.1 => /lib/64/libmd5.so.1

        libscf.so.1 => /lib/64/libscf.so.1

        libdoor.so.1 => /lib/64/libdoor.so.1

        libuutil.so.1 => /lib/64/libuutil.so.1

        libm.so.2 => /lib/64/libm.so.2

The question is why libssh2.so is dependent on libssl.so of the openssl
library? Is there any configuration option for libssh2 that will make
libssh2 not dependent on libssl.so?

On other platforms (linux, hp and windows), libssh2 was not dependent on
libssl. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you
