When cross-emerging dev-libs/openssl for *-w64-mingw32, libssl.dll.a and libcrypto.dll.a are not installed. On MinGW in general, libfoo.dll.a is needed when building an executable which dynamically links against foo library. A workaround would be to emerge with USE=static-libs, which I suspect is discouraged. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

I guess the `rm *.a` used in a lot of ebuilds where the build system doesn't behave isn't the best solution.
