Re: Openssl fails build on Mac OS X 10.11

I think this (below) may mean that openssl11 package of the 1.1.1x 
series needs to continue for a while (at least for its 2yr lifetime)

and a new openssl3 package should be created?

PS If you are the  OpenSSL packager, please dont let the build script  
gratituitously just delete the *.a static libraries, (esp. libcrypto.a) 
after the build without including them in the package.
  Fink and Homebrew leave them in.
This was needed for (an AirPlay server) for Linux which I got to also  
build on macOS for which it was cleaner to statically link libcrypto.a  
(needed to unencrypt Apple's encryption)
The advice for Fink users was then to temporarily install and uninstall 
Brew or MacPorts to get it, or build openSSL from source, install, and 
then uninstall.

One reason end-users might want to use the new version is because openssl3 changed to the standard Apache v2 license (comparable to BSW) whereas the older versions are a weird custom license that is not fully inter-operable with GPL and other standard open licenses.
