just fyi, the options were simply referring to the linking issue, not an 
inclusive list; hence the ellipsis

sounds like your distribution needs drive your build choices.

fwiw, I build local curl, as well as those 'others', with openssl 
1.1.1c, in order to similarly deal with dependencies.

the goal is a consistent openssl1.1.1c-using stack.  I haven't found 
depending on the distros for that to be a winning proposition.

i understand it's a deep, dark, rabbit-hole; YMMV.

libraries it uses that were built with 1.0.2.  It also needs to have 
1.1.1 statically linked because we want to ship to customers that don't 
have 1.1.1 installed.  I suppose we could include 1.1.1 in its own 
directory as part of our rpm, but I'd rather not.

understood.

here, I build nothing statically, and build & include all the 
pieces-n-parts of the 1.1.1c-consistent stack for any given app in a 
local repo.

as above, you can soon start feeling like you're building your own 
distro. which we do, as well ... usually necessarily, but grudgingly.
