OK, I didn't know that; I thought it was required for C++11 atomic support?
How does NetBSD handle that?

Sure, but having "unbuildable openssl" (as Riccardo put it) in pkgsrc
is a problem - the one in NetBSD 9 will eventually become too old as
the one in 8...
Do you know how the release openssl worked around the issue?
Maybe the same solution could be forward-ported to the pkgsrc openssl?
(as far as i can see from the release source code, there's just a
'#ifdef notyet' around the problematic block of code, so I guess a
sort-of '#if !NetBSD' could be used in pkgsrc?).

Cordially,
