That's not reliable - OpenSSL do sometimes break the ABI, even between different alphabetic versions with the same numeric branch. Moving between branches (1.0.1, 1.0.2, etc) you're highly likely to have incompatibilities. If you're not in control of the installed libraries on a system that you build binaries for, perhaps statically linking is a better option. It doesn't need to be openssl either, tried ssh -V on a Mac lately? _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
