         Hi,

You might want to upgrade to OpenSSL-1.0.2 which seems to support the
  RSA PSS algorithm, see https://openssl.org/news/changelog.html#x5.

we are up to the most current version, i.e. Snippet OpenSSL 1.0.2d 9 Jul 2015.

Trying the commandline tool
openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha256 -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -out rca.pubcert.pem -keyout rca.privkey.pem -pkeyopt rsa_padding_mode:pss -pkeyopt rsa_pss_saltlen:-2 -passin pass:
... leads to ...
Loading 'screen' into random state - done
parameter error "rsa_padding_mode:pss"
10584:error:0408F090:rsa routines:PKEY_RSA_CTRL:illegal or unsupported padding mode:.\crypto\rsa\rsa_pmeth.c:517: 10584:error:06089093:digital envelope routines:EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl:command not supported:.\crypto\evp\pmeth_lib.c:405:
...

Since we found explicit exclusion of PSS padding for cert signing in .\crypto\rsa\rsa_pmeth.c:501, we guess PSS signing of certificates is currently not officially supported.

So we've just asked for the reason why, since we're looking for certificates which may satisfy security needs for decades.
