That was my suspicion but it seems strange that such a major feature would be left out. The binary was downloaded from MySQL. I ran the mysql-test-run script after my first post and it skipped the tests for openssl_1 and openssl_2. Thanks for replying, I'll contact MySQL and find out what gives.

Not really, since it adds a dependency on the openssl lib and most people will never need this feature anyway.
