openssl 0.9.8k does not compile on 10.6 10A432 because of incompatible zlib @1.2.3_2

[hukl@…]

I just clean installed 10.6 and macports. After selfupdating macports I tried to install openssl

sudo port install openssl

It failed to compile it saying that zlib is not of required architecture and fails on undefined symbols.

file /opt/local/lib/libz.dylib 
/opt/local/lib/libz.dylib: Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64

Attach full debug output please. Also, what is build_arch set to?

Reporter confirmed on IRC that they really were using 1.7.1...
