OpenSSL 0.9.8 and 1.0.1 have an incompatible ABI. You cannot use 0.9.8
builds with 1.0.1 or the other way around. You have to re-compile
_hashlib.so.

By the way, you should neither use 0.9.8 nor 1.0.1. Both versions are no
longer supported by upstream and receive no security fixes. Some vendors
(RH, Ubuntu) still maintain 1.0.1, though.
