What kind of errors?

I assume this this is with -openssl passed to configure? From my reading 
of the code, that's the only possibility. Is "openssl" in your 
config.summary or the contents of mkspecs/qconfig.pri?

Not necessarily, because FWICT it is just defaulting to "no" instead of 
"auto". Maybe that's just a bad default, or maybe OpenSSL is (or was) 
known to not work properly on WEC.
