This post 
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8318236.html?sid=99120772f26c6abcafff9c6c375d6d5e 
suggests upgrading to 1.1pre17 helps. But I did that and nothing 
changed. It suggests that an OpenSSL upgrade broke it, which makes sense.

I have another host with 1.1pre15 and OpenSSL 1.0.2t working fine though.


Should I downgrade to 1.0? I don't remember why I'm running 1.1 to be 
honest.
