I don't want to say this authoritatively, but I understand that openssl
versions 1.1 are not fully backward-compatible with versions 1.0 .
I would not be surprised to learn that slrn is too old for the changes
in openssl 1.1 .

You might either need to find an older version, or (as i did) leave out
--with-ssl

--hymie!
