That was on a bare, new grab of the source from your repository and a
straight-up run of "./configure --with-openssl --with-perl", then "gmake".

It's a new directory tree - there's no autoconf or other cache files
laying around.

Same grab on FreeBSD 11.x builds fine.

Digging around I had the openssl-1.0.2r port on the system, which used
to be necessary for some other stuff back before 12.x.  I've removed it
and it looks like that took care of it; for whatever reason configure
was getting confused (in theory this shouldn't get you, but theory and
practice sometimes don't play nice. :-)

Thanks for the confirm that others do have it working; gave me a place
to start looking for the issue.
