This is just a naming issue as the Genode library is not named
'openssl' but libssl. For reference you may look into the SSL test

  repos/libports/src/test/libports/libssl/target.mk:2:LIBS   = libc libcrypto libssl

The naming on Linux etc. is likely confusing

  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so
