Fixing Makefile to install Erlang R12B-5(R12B-4) on CentOS5.2

I've noticed incompleteness in the Makefile of Erlang source-tarball package in R12B-4 version.
To build Erlang system from the source files, under CentOS 5 environment, additional library option is required.

for details, you can see Peter Lemenkov's post to erlang-questions ML.

or, if you are can read Japanese, refer my blog in Japanese.

Here is the patch for the "lib/ssl/c_src/Makefile.in".
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/erlang/EL-5/otp-ssl_missing_libs.patch?view=auto&revision=1.1

Still the bug exists in R12B-5 version of Erlang (latest as of today).
