Prior to the OpenSSL 1.1.1 import, the base OpenSSL library was
/usr/lib/libssl.so.8. The security/openssl port (1.0.2p) installed
${LOCALBASE}/lib/ilbssl.so.9 and the security/openssl-devel port
(1.1.0i) installed ${LOCALBASE}/lib/libssl.so.11. After the import, the
base OpenSSL library is /usr/lib/libssl.so.9. Now if you build ports
with DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ssl=openssl, the library that actually gets used
is ambiguous because there are now two different versions of libssl.so
(1.0.2p and 1.1.1) with the same shared library version number.
I stumbled across this when debugging a virtualbox-ose configure
failure. The test executable was linked to the ports version of
libssl.so but rtld chose the base libssl.so at run time.
