Hmm.  Is that a problem if the documented minimum requirements to build
the kernel are violated?  It seems the openssl 1.0.0 development package
is required to build kernels v4.3 and beyond.

Here's what Documentation/process/changes.rst has to say about it:

Current Minimal Requirements
****************************
...
====================== ===============  ========================================
        Program        Minimal version       Command to check the version
====================== ===============  ========================================
openssl & libcrypto    1.0.0            openssl version
...
OpenSSL
-------

Module signing and external certificate handling use the OpenSSL program and
crypto library to do key creation and signature generation.

You will need openssl to build kernels 3.7 and higher if module signing is
enabled.  You will also need openssl development packages to build kernels 4.3
and higher.
