Same for Pi1-B (armv6).
The packages havn't been updated since the OpenSSL upgrade.
Don't know how powerfull the package cluster is, but not really unexpected
to take a long to for a full package rebuild I think.
Maybe the priority was to get packages done for armv7, as it is
slower than arm64 and more common than armv6.
On a Pine64-LTS using ports to build from source shouldn't be too slow.
Reminds me to spend more time with my Pin64-LTS...
