I think it's partly something I'm doing wrong here, though I haven't 
figured out what.  Even the 1.2.1 release fails the same way when built 
outside the MacPorts setup.  I suspect it relates to the old bug about not 
honoring the OpenSSL info reported by pkgconfig, though I do have my 
kludge patch in place that fixes it for MacPorts (including in the failing 
non-MacPorts build setup).

Yes.  I think it gets confused when the OpenSSL version it's told to use 
isn't the system default, which is 3.0 in this case.  But I'd made that 
work in the past, and I haven't yet figured out what differs between the 
working and non-working 1.1 cases.

In any case, it's probably not an issue with OpenSSL 1.1 per se, and if 
I'm right about the general area, it's not a new bug.  I don't think this 
is a release blocker, though I don't fully understand it yet.
