It is also doable by passing --define "uuid 0" to the SRPM. uuid is a
predefined conditional in spec file:
http://svn.pgrpms.org/browser/rpm/redhat/9.2/postgresql/EL-6/postgresql-9.2.spec#L67
and here is how to do it:

As Tom stated, it is the auto dependency picker that is picking up the
openssl dependency. We don't depend on OpenSSL anywhere. What if we
build with the older version, and then it is broken with the new one?
