> How do we configure without OPENSSL_die? You can't. you can replace the function with something that does something better for your needs. But the times you get there, a catastrophic error has happened and the library cannot proceed. It would be great to fix those things; start by picking an OPENSSL_assert call and fixing it. Once possibility to work-around is to do a setjmp() in main and then longjmp in openssl_die.
