OK, found it.  In adding PSS to rsa, openssl 0.9.8 uses EM as a variable
name, and kermit uses it as a defined constant.  My personal
recommendation would be to change rsa_pss.c and rsa.h in openssl to use
something either lowercase or less generic, but I can think of an ugly
hack to kermit to get around it as well.  (My current workaround is after
installing openssl to modify $PREFIX/include/openssl/rsa.h to use PSS_EM
instead of EM.)

Should I submit this as a PR (and should I submit it upstream, or would
the maintainer deal with that)?

Thanks,
