I have the feeling that the parallel build patches for OpenSSL are not
working properly. Look at the recent build failures we've got for the
openssl and host-openssl builds:

  http://autobuild.buildroot.org/?reason=openssl-1.0.2d
  http://autobuild.buildroot.org/?reason=host-openssl-1.0.2d

They are pretty much all due to a similar error:

  ln: failed to create symbolic link 'libssl.so': File exists
  ln: creating symbolic link `libcrypto.so': File exists

I could spot only one that is different:

In file included from apps.h:117:0,
                 from req.c:74:
../include/openssl/bio.h:521:34: error: expected ';' before 'BIO_ctrl'
 # define BIO_set_fp(b,fp,c)      BIO_ctrl(b,BIO_C_SET_FILE_PTR,c,(char *)fp)

Do you have some ideas? Does Gentoo has some more patches? Should we
revert back to non-parallel build for OpenSSL ?

Thanks,

Thomas
