unfortunately, this seems true (never tried it before): I tried a static build of ECL (on Linux) with the following function call:

    > (ffi:load-foreign-library "libssl.so")

    Condition of type: SIMPLE-ERROR
    SI:LOAD-FOREIGN-MODULE does not work when ECL is statically linked

    Available restarts:

    1. (RESTART-TOPLEVEL) Go back to Top-Level REPL.

    Broken at SI:BYTECODES. [Evaluation of: (SI:LOAD-FOREIGN-MODULE "libssl.so")] In: #<process TOP-LEVEL 0x55fd196d6f80>.

So, you would need to link both 'libcrypto.a' and 'libssl.a' statically in your build...
