Comment (by cal@…):

 The problem with linking against a copy of OpenSSL in `$prefix` is that it
 will temporarily disappear while OpenSSL itself is upgraded, but that must
 not interrupt the upgrade process.


 Replying to [comment:10 ryandesign@…]:
 > Once we are properly mirroring distfiles before doing buildbot builds,
 that will probably be a sufficient fix. But it doesn't help old systems
 download from other sites that require https.

 No matter what we do, that's a problem these platforms will always have,
 and will continue to do so. As I said, we cannot save abandoned platforms
 from dying.
