  Tell the vendor to fix their OS.

  OpenSSL has the wonderful practice of making their headers and libraries incompatible.  Instead of having the server crash at run-time due to OpenSSL garbage, we catch it (and complain) when "configure" is run.

  The only way to fix it is to fix the headers and/or libraries.  You *could* bypass the "configure" checks and build the server.  But it would likely crash at run-time.  Because of the OpenSSL issues...
