It’s missing because what it represents—OpenSSL headers belonging to the
system—no longer exists on 10.11.
We’re either going to have to convert everything over to openssl100, which will
block binary redistribution of a lot of GPL packages, or we will have to
provide the missing headers for the system’s OpenSSL, which isn’t going to
receive updates and is a less secure option.
For local changes, I recommend modifying packages to use openssl100, since the
redistribution issue doesn’t apply to end-users.
