Well, may be to produce a shared lib from a static lib should use a command line
which includes crt0.o like this

gcc -shared -o libcrypto.so.300.0 -Wl,-soname=libcrypto.so.300 \
      -Wl,-Bsymbolic -Wl,--whole-archive libcrypto.a \
#
# next line inserted
      /usr/lib/crt0.o \
      -Wl,--no-whole-archive -L. -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -lc

May be ld behaves different if it produces a executable or a library!
