Thank you for this report. I think that this happens with OpenSSL before
version 0.9.7. What version of OpenSSL do you have? Anyway, my OpenSSL
book recommends conditional compilation with OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to
solve this, so that what I did in r13563. It is basically the same as
the change you suggested, however I don't have an old version of OpenSSL
to test with.

How to find which version of OpenSSL is used?

I have found two openssl.h on my drive:
/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl
#define OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT    "OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009"

/usr/include/openssl                             <Folder>
#define OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT    "OpenSSL 0.9.6d 9 May 2002"

I have attempted to make install of openssl-0.9.8k, but unfortunatelly
old SSL is still active. Anyway, the configure script should complain and
either fix an issue or not allow further compilation.

I guess I wasn't clear; the old version of OpenSSL should work now (but
you need to check out from Subversion for the fix). To use your newer
OpenSSL, configure like this:
        ./configure --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl
