Hmm, that's odd:

It looks it's taking the OpenSSL 1.1.0 codepath:

Wild guess: curculio is building with LibreSSL, which claims to be 
OpenSSL >= 1.1.0, but it doesn't actually implement all the functions 
that OpenSSL 1.1.0 does.

Looks like we need some more autoconf scripting to detect LibreSSL. Or 
switch to detecting the existence of individual functions, rather than 
checking the version number. That would be more autoconf-like anyway.
