Hi,

as reported by Debian's OpenSSL maintainers, PostgreSQL is failing to
build against a snapshot of the upcoming 1.1.0 version. The report was
for 9.5.3, but I can reproduce it in HEAD as well:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=828510
> OpenSSL 1.1.0 is about to released.  During a rebuild of all packages using
> OpenSSL this package fail to build.  A log of that build can be found at:
> https://breakpoint.cc/openssl-1.1-rebuild-2016-05-29/Attempted/postgresql-9.5_9.5.3-1_amd64-20160529-1510
> 
> On https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/1.1_API_Changes you can see various of the
> reasons why it might fail.  There are also updated man pages at
> https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/ that should contain useful information.
> 
> There is a libssl-dev package available in experimental that contains a recent
> snapshot, I suggest you try building against that to see if everything works.

$ ./configure --with-openssl
checking for CRYPTO_new_ex_data in -lcrypto... yes
checking for SSL_library_init in -lssl... no
configure: error: library 'ssl' is required for OpenSSL

I can get one step further by tweaking configure.in and running
autoreconf, but then compilation fails further down:

-      AC_CHECK_LIB(ssl,    SSL_library_init, [], [AC_MSG_ERROR([library 'ssl' is required for OpenSSL])])
+      AC_CHECK_LIB([ssl],  [SSL_library_init])

make -C common all
