This is not the only patch that we did to support OpenSSL 3.0.0. There
was a very lengthy discussion that resulted in various patches. Unless
we have a complete analysis of what was done and how it affects various
branches, I would not do this. Notably, we did actually consider what
to backpatch, and the current state is the result of that. So let's not
throw that away without considering that carefully. Even if it gets it
to compile, I personally would not *trust* it without that analysis. I
think we should just leave it alone and consider OpenSSL 3.0.0
unsupported in the branches were it is now unsupported. OpenSSL 1.1.1
is still supported upstream to serve those releases.
