I think that's a bug in the configuration-script, and I am surprised
it hasn't been reported before. Could you try changing the
hobbit-4.0.3rc2/build/Makefile.test-ssl file - the line that reads

    @$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(OSSLLIB) -o test-ssl test-ssl.o -lssl -lcrypto

should be

    @$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(OSSLLIB) -o test-ssl test-ssl.o -lssl -lcrypto $(NETLIBS)


(i.e. just add "$(NETLIBS)" to the line. That should make the
SSL-configuration work, and then your https URL's should also be tested
correctly.
