According to this GitHub discussion it turns out that the problem is caused by OpenSSL moving to 0.9.4.0 binaries should resolve your issue.

  The incompatibility is due to the OpenSSL update changing the
  behavior of ECDSA validation to reject any signature which is
  not encoded in a very rigid manner.  This was a result of
  OpenSSL's change for CVE-2014-8275 "Certificate fingerprints
  can be modified".
  
  While for most applications it is generally acceptable to eagerly
  reject some signatures, Bitcoin is a consensus system where all
  participants must generally agree on the exact validity or
  invalidity of the input data.  In a sense, consistency is more
  important than "correctness".
