I don't know anything about OpenWrt, but if it's structured like
common Linux distros, the files needed to build a library-using
program are distributed separately from the library itself.
So in addition to the "openssl" package, you need to install
"openssl-devel" (Red Hat naming convention) or "openssl-dev"
(Debian naming convention) or something like that to get past
this problem.

Further down in configure, you'll likely find that you're also
missong readline-devel, zlib-devel, and maybe other dev packages.
