It wouldn't be this one by any chance? Quoting myself from December 05

In openssl.h I had to change the typedef for X509_NAME and all the
places it is used to something else because of some error I suspect (but
couldn't prove) is a name clash. X509_NAME_SCREWS_UP_MSVC8 seems to be
acceptable to the compiler.

But as I said then, the binaries would not run.
