This port is for ILE (native OS/400) not PASE (PASE is almost like Unix, and already comes with openssl). The idiosynchrasies are explained in the README.as400 file in AS400patch.tar.gz. AS400patch.tar.gz (large patch for OpenSSL and other files): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xHk6dMjFW0MDrUsHiNSQLpk5LRz5H4yB The patch is smaller than the 1.1.1b one because an AIX compatibility fix in 1.1.1c was almost identical to portions of my patch.
