No ideas. Perhaps you can give us a few hints about your situation?

What OS, what Tor version, did you install from a package or source,
what openssl version, did you change anything, what did you change,
do you have hardware acceleration enabled, etc.

Alternatively, is Tor working for you generally and this appeared in
your log for no reason you can tell?

My bet is that you're either trying to install Tor to some really odd
hardware/software combination, or you're running a really old Tor. Or
both. :)
