 We have couple opened ticket about building OpenSSL statically: #31565 and
 #32871 are the one I could find.

 I've been working on this to measure the size of tor as a shared library
 for mobile environment for which we need to build tor with openssl and
 libevent statically.

 At current master, this is not working for build system and code reasons.

 This ticket is to address it all so we can close all other related
 tickets.

 Here is a raw tor.git diff that makes this work. There is still some think
 to consider especially with the `OPENSSL_VERSION`:
