[openssl.org #3573] Building win64 openssl static library with no-ssl3 option fails on 1.0.1j

[Arthur Ramsey via RT]

I'm attempting to disable SSLv3 at build time with no-ssl3. This was
successful on Linux, but not on Windows. I'm building on Windows 7 with
VC 2008 and strawberry perl. It was successful with the following
procedure.

1.

%comspec% /k "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86_amd64

2.
Change to the directory containing openssl sources

cd C:\openssl-1.0.1j

3.
Configure the openssl build

perl Configure VC-WIN64A no-ssl2

4.
Prepare the target environment

ms\do_win64a

5.
Clean up previous compliation

nmake -f ms\nt.mak clean

6.
Build

nmake -f ms\nt.mak

7.
Test the build

nmake -f ms\nt.mak test

Once I add the no-ssl3 option, compilation of the 64-bit static library
fails with the following. I started fresh from the src dist with each
attempt.

Building OpenSSL
lib /nologo /out:out32\ssleay32.lib @C:\Users\arthurr\AppData\Local\Temp\nm96B5.tmp
link /nologo /subsystem:console /opt:ref /debug /out:out32\constant_time_test.exe @C:\Users\arthurr\AppData\Local\Temp\nm96D5.tmp
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'out32\ssleay32.lib'
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN\x86_amd64\link.EXE"' : return code '0x49d'
Stop.

I see there was a fix for no-ssl3 in 1.0.1j, but it may still be an
issue with Windows builds? The error isn't descriptive, but perhaps a
openssl-dev could try reproducing the issue.
