Bug description:
  Description:	Ubuntu oneiric (development branch)
  Release:	11.10

  I have a C++ project that built fine in an up to date Ubuntu 11.04
  environment. After I upgraded this system to Ubuntu 11.10 pre-release,
  I am now receiving a linker error that there is an undefined symbol.
  The program uses privately built copies of libcurl and libssl and the
  libssl libraries and sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH appropriately. The -lssl and
  -lcurl options ARE being passed to g++ in the link step. The private
  copy of libssl.a DOES contain that symbol that ld is complaining
  about. I tried swapping out to a known good version of "ld" but with
  the same results so I am not convinced that the linker is to blame.
  Also python complains about llibssl.so and libcrypto.so missing
  version information. I think that perhaps the shared objects are not
  being built with correct symbols or the loader doesn't understand how
  to read them. The output of several commands is below. I thought maybe
  this had something to do with the stricter DSO linking rules but that
  doesn't explain why the symbol APPEARS in the text section of
  libssl.a, which I am linking to with -lssl, and yet ld complains that
  it is undefined.

  $make
  ... truncated for brevity ...

  /usr/bin/ld: note: 'SSL_get_verify_result' is defined in DSO /home/user1/source/2.8-dev/src/lib/openssl/lib/libssl.so so try adding it to the linker command line
