Well done. You just discovered that openssl is a badly outdated piece of software, that you can compile with stick and stone. One of the reason for starting libreSSL is using modern coding standard. Modern is by definition a moving target. Using a modern library on a years old system is like putting an nice lock on a wooden box. If you want to loot the box, smash it. You can even take the lock with you. Updating your openbsd should take you one hour for the base os and fixing the outdated config from outdated daemon might take the rest of the day. But then, you would have all the benefit of libreSSL, applied to the whole system. Or maybe you are just a troll trying to get a response from Theo. Who know ?
