Error building nginx and OpenSSL - c++

Question

I’m trying to build the latest nginx version with the latest OpenSSL. The build process exits with the following message.
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/crt1.o: In function `_start':
(.text+0x20): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

My nginx configure call looks like the following:
./configure

--sbin-path=/usr/local/sbin
--conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
--pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid

I know that this is some kind of gcc linker problem and I already tried several -lxxx flags (got them from other StackOverflow threads that were similar to my problem) but nothing helps. I also tried it with older nginx / OpenSSL versions, but no luck. Same goes for leaving the -O3 or -m64 compiler flags.
Some more info on the environment:
gcc (Debian 4.7.2-5) 4.7.2
cpp (Debian 4.7.2-5) 4.7.2
pcre 8.32
zlib and modules are cloned from git master

Finally I was able to compile nginx and of course I'd like to share this with you. Seems like the order of the configure options was the problem. I used the following configure argument order and it compiled without any problems.
nginx version: nginx/1.4.0
built by gcc 4.7.2 (Debian 4.7.2-5)
TLS SNI support enabled
configure arguments:
--user=www-data
--group=www-data
--prefix=/usr/local
--sbin-path=/usr/local/sbin
--conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
--pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid
--lock-path=/var/lock/nginx.lock
--error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log
--http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log
