Comment (by neverpanic):

 > I'm wondering too, in particular under which conditions OSSL 3.2.1
 (and/or now 3.3.0) does NOT fail to build or work on "older" OS versions.
 The ticket has grown too long and I think a recap would be useful.

 tl;dr: On old OS, when compiled +universal, `openssl list -providers`
 fails.

 > does it actually work in non-universal builds if a recent enough
 compiler is used, and if so, on what OS versions?
 > I see no mention of any testing with GCC (say 12 or 13); can using that
 compiler give a way out?

 I don't think non-universal builds were ever broken anywhere. The problem
 seems to mostly be +universal.

 > Could it be that the failure in universal builds has something to do
 with e.g. a binary seed file containing data that is interpreted
 differently by 32 and 64 bit builds?

 Unlikely – that would cause either the x86_64 or the PPC slice to fail on
 its own, which doesn't seem to be happening.
