Anybody who prefers libressl over the venerable, but bloated, openssl is
going to run into problems when building wpa_supplicant; the build fails.
There are two options available:-

1. Libressl will need to be patched before being built.  There's discussion
here https://is.gd/QjBS3h on the NixOS github page.  I haven't tried this
as I've already built libressl.

2. Build wpa_supplicant with GnuTLS support instead.  As I have GnuTLS
installed as well as libressl I tried this approach and it worked well.  It
just requires adding two additional lines to the
wpa_supplicant.configuration file:-

   CONFIG_TLS=gnutls
   CONFIG_GNUTLS_EXTRA=yes

This is necessary because wpa_supplicant uses openssl by default.  Here's a
disclaimer: I haven't yet tried running my newly built version of
wpa_supplicant.

I hope that this is useful to somebody.
