The library bufferoverflowu.lib is explicitly added to the command line on win64 platforms via a few instances of this line in util/pl/VC-32.pl:

$ex.=' bufferoverflowu.lib' if ($FLAVOR =~ /WIN64/);

This library doesn't exist and is no longer shipped with Visual Studio 2008.  Note that the failure to build OpenSSL I observed was using the cross-compliation environment on a 32-bit machine.

I've verified that 0.9.8k builds and successfully tests on this platform with the library removed from ntdll.mak.
