btw: i had a build break after a "clean build":

cd /cygdrive/d/sources/libo-core
./g checkout master
./g fetch --tags
./g pull -r

/opt/lo/bin/make clean gb_COLOR=1 gb_TITLES=1

but folder "providers" is located at:

/cygdrive/d/sources/libo-core/workdir/UnpackedTarball/openssl/providers

workaround: copy folder "providers" to:
