I misread that page thinking that v2.1.x would just give me 2.1.9 and
that master would be 2.1.10. Either way, I was able to get v2.1.x (aka
2.1.10) to configure openssl using the LIBS="-ldl" addition. I'm not
sure what's changed in the "master" that configure seems to figure that
out on it's own, but it might be nice to add to 2.1.10 if it's not too
much work.

Now I'm hitting the undefined reference to
`lt__PROGRAM__LTX_preloaded_symbols' problem. I think I've moved past
that by just adding
#define lt__PROGRAM__LTX_preloaded_symbols lt_libltdl_LTX_preloaded_symbols
to modules.c. It occurs to me. Is that libtool expecting a macro to be
defined for _PROGRAM_ and thats why it's defining a symbol which doesn't
actually exist? I'm just sort of thinking out loud based on your notes here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freeradius/+bug/421005

Anyway, I've got it built. I need some coffee before I install and try
to run it though. Thanks for the help,
