My concern with OpenSSL, in the past, there have been binary incompatibility issues (on windows in particular, since I have to ship the openssl dlls) from what Qt expects and a particular version.
Meaning, when I stick with the OpenSSL that was built with Qt when it was made, yes, its security hole, but I have had crashes otherwise.

I guess configure disabled qtwebkit because of missing dependencies then ... run configure -v to see the output of the tests.

The binary packages for Qt have been built so far with Ubuntu 11.10 (gcc 4.6). We're right now experimenting with Red Hat 6 and the 'developer toolset' that allows you to use newer gcc : https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Developer_Toolset/ . So far it looks promising ...
