does lynx_cfg.h have USE_SSL defined?
That's done by this bit of configure script:

AC_TRY_LINK([
#include <stdio.h>
#ifdef USE_OPENSSL_INCL
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
#else
#include <ssl.h>
#endif
],
        [SSL_shutdown((SSL *)0)],
        [cf_ssl_library=yes],
        [cf_ssl_library=no])
AC_MSG_RESULT($cf_ssl_library)
if test "$cf_ssl_library" = yes ; then
        AC_DEFINE(USE_SSL)
else
        AC_ERROR(Cannot link with ssl library)
fi
