I have send patches for all of those that you just mentioned so
that they can get build using both 1.0.2 and 1.1.0.

DHCP 4.3.5 seems to work just fine with 1.1.0.

The latest ntp release is 4.2.8p9 which should just work with
openssl 1.1.0. (I have no idea why they don't list it on their
download page now, or why the development version is so old.)

bind has applied patches, I'm just not sure in which branches.

The ed25519 support in openssh doesn't even come from openssl.

Including the internal headers is not a good patch. This will
break.
