The lynx you compiled worked perfectly for me in both BL2 (2.2.16) and 
BL3.32.  I made symlinks for my lynx.lss and lynx.cfg, which are in 
/usr/lib, to /usr/local/lib, and put lynx in /usr/local/bin, and cert/pem 
is in /usr/local/ssl and I was able to log into my secure bbs site with 
it.

I have not tried with 2.2.26 or 2.4.31 yet.

I have posted a copy at http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl as lynx-uclibc.gz, 
and you can download my lynx-2851-ssl.tgz package to get my lynx.lss and 
lynx.cfg but put them in /usr/local/lib not /usr/lib.  My .config file is 
set up to work with various viewers (zgv) and downloaders - antiword for 
doc files, etc.  (I forget if I set it up with mplayer and drvmidi).
