While testing for openssh-6.8 I ran across issues with -blibpath on AIX.
The current situation is that for libressl the use is not consistent, and
it would break any packaging attempting to permit side-by-side usage of
openssl packaging by IBM or anyone else when side-by-side is needed (e.g.,
old package not yet recompiled against libressl) - multiple versions of
/usr/lib/libssl.a and /usr/lib/libcrypto.a are not 'practical'. On other
*NIX whith the convention to have individual .so files (rather than the .so
as an archive member) might not suffer from this multiplicity - but this is
why - I hope - there is support for "portable")
I am assuming the lack of consistency is just something that needs to be
addressed.
Hope this helps!
