Also, I get this on fully-up-to-date OS X (El Capitan):
$ openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.8zh 14 Jan 2016
Worth noting though is that without -Wno-deprecated-declarations, you
find that Apple has sprinkled the entire OpenSSL API with deprecation
warnings. That suggests that their plan for the future is to drop it
rather than update it. Should we be thinking ahead to that?

PS: I still have 0.9.7 on some of my buildfarm critters. But I could
either update them, or stop using --with-openssl there.
