that's not a mistake, the internal one ought to build, but it's not 
possible to figure out from the log why it failed:

the error message appears to be generic - it's possible that the problem 
doesn't have anything to do with "X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_host".

perhaps there are more details further up in the log, or in a different 
log file.

also, the openssl may be used either internal or from the system, 
depending on --with-system-openssl/--with-system-libs.
