root at unstable32:/usr/src/openssl-1.0.0h# eu-findtextrel 
./i686/cmov/libcrypto.so
/usr/src/openssl-1.0.0h/crypto/x86cpuid.s not compiled with -fpic/-fPIC
root at unstable32:/usr/src/openssl-1.0.0h# eu-findtextrel ./i586/libcrypto.so
/usr/src/openssl-1.0.0h/crypto/x86cpuid.s not compiled with -fpic/-fPIC

From the above test on a build tree it seems that the x86cpuid.s file is the 
problem, but the detail is apparently stripped when the .deb is produced.

That is the first time I've received such a response from a DD.  In the past 
I've seen little indication that maintainers of such packages know what it's 
about and a great aversion to fixing things.
