Comment (by artkiver):

 Thank you for reporting this! I am not sure if I have any Lion nor
 Mountain Lion systems to test against at the moment, but I will see what I
 can do.

 As one possible workaround, can you see if you are running into the same
 sorts of issues if using libressl
 [https://ports.macports.org/port/libressl/] from MacPorts instead of
 openssl? If attempting that workaround you may need to deactivate openssl,
 and I realize not all MacPorts are presently using the following sorts of
 parameters in their Portfiles:

 {{{
     depends_lib         path:lib/libssl.dylib:openssl \
 }}}

 which facilitates compatibility with different TLS libraries so it might
 raise some challenges for things aside from OpenSSH; but it will at least
 help us to narrow down if this is an OpenSSL related issue (which would be
 my first guess given the revision was in relation to that) or something
 else.

 Thank you again for bringing this to our attention!

 Replying to [comment:6 RobK88]:
 > The cause of this configure error for `openssh` may really stem from
 `openssl` not being properly configured before it was built.
