That's a strange error to happen at this late stage, but main.c
in gb.openssl does include some unusual gambas headers.

Do you have installed whatever provides ltdl.h on Fedora? I looked
a bit and it's probably called libtool-ltdl-devel, but information
on the web outdates now and then... It compiles fine over here, on
an (almost) freshly updated Arch Linux.
