File links-2.29/mk-dos reads:
#!/bin/sh
if [ "$1" = dbg ]; then
        CFLAGS="-fgnu89-inline -O0 -g -Wall"
        export CFLAGS
        ./configure --enable-debuglevel --enable-graphics --without-ipv6
elif [ "$1" = lite ]; then
        CFLAGS="-fgnu89-inline -march=i386 -Os -fomit-frame-pointer -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations"
        export CFLAGS
        ./configure --disable-graphics --without-lzma --without-lzip --without-brotli --without-ipv6
else
        CFLAGS="-fgnu89-inline -march=i386 -mtune=pentium -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -frename-registers -fweb -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations"
        export CFLAGS
        ./configure --enable-graphics --without-ipv6
fi

So, the "lite" version does indeed not disable SSL support, but graphics and some compression algorithms.
