Argh, that's what I get for looking at current sources and not 7.1.3.
In current sources we have

# Assume system is ELF if it predefines __ELF__ as 1,
# otherwise believe host_os based default.
case $host_os in
freebsd1*|freebsd2*) elf=no;;
freebsd3*|freebsd4*) elf=yes;;
esac

so obviously somebody figured out that freebsd2 is not using elf.
Hacking configure as you did is the right answer for 7.1.

I don't think we can help you here. Either deselect SSL support
or install a sharable OpenSSL library.
