That's actually the likely reason why we don't do that test. It seems
to be required because we're linking with libpq which is linked with
OpenSSL, apps linking to it (on some platforms) also need to link with
libcypto. It may also be that an element of bitrot has crept into that
configure option - I very much doubt anyone has tested without SSL
support in a long time.
