Could you help check the timestamp of AutoGen files in OpenSslLib output directory?
After the first build, copy OpenSslLib output directory to another directory After the second build, compare the output directory between two builds, please check whether there is the difference for AutoGen.h and Makefile. If no difference, please directly trig Makefile to see whether rebuild happen. If rebuild happen, it may be the issue in Makefile. Then, further check Makefile.
