This was reported as
https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9404 and fixed, at
least according to the person who reported the bug. I'd be curious to
know why the fix does not work for you...

As an alternative, does it work if you add line 130 to setup.py:

'-DOPENSSL_NO_EC', # Uncomment if you have
trouble compiling without EC support
