Qt is a huge framework; my guess is that OpenSSL is used to build Qt, possibly to enable some options, but that Octave is not linked with OpenSSL. For example, the Debian Qt 5 packages are built with libssl-dev, but the resulting Qt shared libraries do not link with libssl at all. However, to be safe, Qt can be built with a -no-openssl option, someone could test this in mxe-octave and ensure that everything still works.
I tried it and it seems to work. I also disabled openssl in a few other places. I'll commit a patch after I've had a chance to run the Octave test suite.
