Hello,

I have seen today that my coreutils was compiled with ssl support, and
that is fine for me.

However, what happens if libressl library is updated?

sort is then missing libressl from old versio, and configure cannot
run.

Also, sort is required by other ./configure scripts so suddenly
nothing can be ./configure-ed and make-ed as the script looks for
sort, and sort looks for older libressl which is updated to newer
version.

It further means, when sort and coreutils are compiled with libressl,
they cannot compile itself without libressl even I don't know the
background on how sort is using the ssl.

It maybe problem for development of chaintools with ssl.

Jean
