I tried to make qt 5.4.1 with openSsl configuration but i got some errors during make it.
I configured it as bellow :
OPENSSL_LIBS='-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto' ./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase -opensource -debug-and-release -nomake tests -openssl-linked -I/usr/local/ssl/include -L/usr/local/ssl/lib
and then make.
the last 10 line of output is:
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.a(s2_srvr.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.a: could not read symbols: Bad value

To link a static library into a shared library on x86_64, the static library needs to be compiled with -fPIC. You could now build OpenSSL manually with -fPIC set, but that'd be a bit of a hassle.
I'd suggest to configure Qt with -openssl instead of -openssl-linked. Then SSL won't be linked at compile time but loaded dynamically (dlopen) at runtime. It's the usual way to handle OpenSSL in Qt, also because of the incompabilities between the OpenSSL and GPL licenses.
