Comment:

 `/opt/local/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib` is part of `openssl`.  As you are
 well aware, `openssl` was just updated.

 Not many people use Tiger, so nobody noticed that updating `openssl` would
 break the compiler.

 It's kind of a miracle that the `openssl 1.1.1` library works -- it's just
 luck that it does, because it is binary incompatible with `openssl 1.0.x`.

 Something needs a revbump -- either `ld64-97` or perhaps `apple-gcc-4.2`.
 I'm not sure which one yet, as I haven't tried updating Tiger until all
 this `openssl 1.1.1` dust settles, and we identify better all the broken
 ports. Updating Tiger is a project that I don't want to spend weeks on.

 If updating `openssl` broke the functional compilers on Tiger, that will
 be a fun project :> Have to re-bootstrap them...

 I guess you are already into it -- unfortunately. You could reactivate an
 older version of openssl, I guess, but then that would be a mess for
 everything else that has gone on.
