I hesitated a bit on this one, because after all it's our fault: we are
passing an absolute path as the value of CC. If we change that to pass
just the name of the compiler, then OpenSSL doesn't have a problem.

But, it really is OpenSSL choice to hardcode such compiler/flags
information into the binary, so it should sanitize that before using it.

Even though I believe there's probably not much hope, could you try to
submit this patch upstream?

In the mean time, I've applied to master. Thanks!

Thomas
