My knowledge about SSL is limited so maybe I'm all wrong here ...

... but I don't think this would work even if it would compile. smbmount
only does the mount, it then passes the connection to the kernel level
smbfs. smbfs doesn't even know how to spell SSL much less talk it.

Maybe this should to one or more of
a) not link with -lssl and quitely ignore it
b) give a warning at compile time that smbfs/smbmount won't do SSL
c) link with ssl (and add the path to the library I assume is missing) and
   see what happens

smbclient should work.
