You have to make sure the binary is statically linked. You can do that
for example by doing:

./configure <your usual configure options> LDFLAGS=-static
make

You probably also want to compile optimized for size and generate a
stripped binary:

./configure <your usual configure options> CFLAGS="-Os -fomit-frame-pointer" LDFLAGS="-static -s"
make

Another option is to copy libcrypto.so and the other missing libraries
to your embedded platform.
