Most likely, the socket module failed to build; it would help if you
had reported that fragment of the make output dealing with sockets
(save the entire make output into a file, then search for "socket").

Most likely, it detected a 32-bit OpenSSL installation, which it then
could not link to the socket module. Edit Modules/Setup to incorporate
_socket explicitly - that gives you the choice of either pointing to a
64-bit OpenSSL installation, or leaving out SSL support.
