I'm not sure and i'm not an expert, but *.a files are only headers 
files. Cross-compiling wpa_supplicant i had to use it (libssl32.a i 
remember) and, because is a only headers file, i had to use it's 
equivalent *.dll file, which it IS a library. Also i don't know anything 
about "h" version of openssl  but i have debian with openssl package 
that comes in the installation and a compiled version by me too. In 
theory you only need to tell compiler where are the libraries, header 
files etc.
