Bug #16696: 'OpenSSL 1.1.1e 17 Mar 2020' causes failure in Ruby OpenSSL stdlib

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: -
• Target version: -
• Backport: 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN

Failure first appeared in ruby-loco MinGW build, also repo'd using OpenSSL CI testing on Ubuntu Ruby 2.7.0.

See:
https://github.com/ruby/openssl/runs/517945310#step:7:529

and MinGW build here:
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/runs/518138007#step:14:885

ruby-loco:
https://github.com/MSP-Greg/ruby-loco/runs/516963757?check_suite_focus=true#step:8:92

Any Windows RubyInstaller builds that contain OpenSSL stdlib 2.1.0 or later are built with OpenSSL 1.1.1. They are also built with a current set of MSYS2/MinGW packages. The current MSYS2/MinGW OpenSSL package is 1.1.1e.

Hence, backporting this fix to Ruby 2.5, 2.6, and 2.7 would allow RubyInstaller builds to continue as above.

Change will be reverted in 1.1.1f, release on 31-Mar-10 . Please close.

But it will be back with OpenSSL 3.x, I am afraid.
