So the buildfarm is not that bad, I have spotted one failure from
nightjar:
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=nightjar&dt=2020-01-06%2003%3A54%3A10

/pgbuild/root/HEAD/pgsql.build/../pgsql/src/interfaces/libpq/fe-secure-openssl.c:
In function 'initialize_SSL':
/pgbuild/root/HEAD/pgsql.build/../pgsql/src/interfaces/libpq/fe-secure-openssl.c:1198:
error: 'SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION' undeclared (first use in this function)
/pgbuild/root/HEAD/pgsql.build/../pgsql/src/interfaces/libpq/fe-secure-openssl.c:1198:
error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
/pgbuild/root/HEAD/pgsql.build/../pgsql/src/interfaces/libpq/fe-secure-openssl.c:1198:
error: for each function it appears in.)

And this means that the version likely used here should be 0.9.8.
