It looks like its not picking up the definition of the
DEPRECATEDIN_1_2_0 macro for some reason.

That macro should be defined in opensslconf.h (which is included from
ec.h), and looks like this:

/*
 * Do not deprecate things to be deprecated in version 1.2.0 before the
 * OpenSSL version number matches.
 */
#if OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER < 0x10200000L
# define DEPRECATEDIN_1_2_0(f)   f;
#elif OPENSSL_API_COMPAT < 0x10200000L
# define DEPRECATEDIN_1_2_0(f)   DECLARE_DEPRECATED(f)
#else
# define DEPRECATEDIN_1_2_0(f)
#endif


And where OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER is declared in opensslv.h (which is
included from opensslconf.h). Since 1.1.1 is less than 1.2.0, the first
definition of DEPRECATEDIN_1_2_0 should apply, i.e. this macro should
effectively be ignored and the parameter should be processed just like
any other function declaration.

So do you have an opensslconf.h? And does it have that macro defined in
it? My theory is that somehow or other you are picking up an old version
of that header (maybe the system version) which doesn't have the macro
defined.
