I personally build without problems on Ubuntu 8.04 32 and 64 bit, and
Redhat has provided Tinderbox build slaves that also regularly build 64
bit versions on RH 5.x

Are you using the the fedora_setup.sh script? Are you sure your OpenSSL
version is supported (note that openssl 1.0 series is not yet supported
although there is a nearly complete patch)?
