I don't think so, as the conflict with openssl-devel and
compat-openssl10-devel isn't something you can (reasonably)
work around.

Why do you need the -devel packages installed on the same
system?  Unless the bro software somehow needs the openssl
1.0 headers at run time, you should be able to build it,
then remove compat-openssl10-devel and reinstall the
openssl-devel package.

(If it is a runtime dependency, then I don't think there's
any good options, but that seems unlikely.)

An somewhat better solution is to build in mock or some
other container.  Then you don't need to have any -devel
packages installed.

And, of course, the best solution would be for bro to
support openssl-1.1.  I would think security software would
be keeping up with openssl. ;)
