You're right - that's an issue with missing libs in Makefile. See
patch in EPEL repository:

http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/erlang/EL-5/otp-ssl_missing_libs.patch?rev=1.1&view=auto

BTW I plan to rebuild R12B-3 for EPEL tomorrow (if everything will be
OK, it will be pushed to epel-testing repo in a cooule of days). Feel
free to contact me directly (or file a bug in redhat's bugzilla if you
find something weird).
