I build tcf-agent 1.7.0, using the patch provided by Eugene, and it
built without warnings.

Maybe we should just ask Eugene was is the official and
upstream-supported build system for tcf-agent. Using CMake instead of
hand-written Makefiles definitely makes a lot of sense. It does work
today, and if there are some issues with it, they can be fixed.

Look at your patch that was fixing the static linking issue with
OpenSSL. CMake has built-in support for detecting libraries using
pkg-config, automatically solving such static linking issues.

Best regards,
