Openssl Version 1.1.1b fails to compile on Solaris platform(Intel & Sparc)

[Erik Forsberg]

I see this is Solaris 10, dont use that anywhere anymore.
But in Solaris 11, its fine. From ld(1)

      -M mapfile

          Reads mapfile as a text file of directives to the link-editor. This
          option can be specified multiple times. If mapfile is a directory,
          then all regular files, as defined by stat(2), within the directory
          are processed. See Chapter 10, Mapfiles in the Link-Editor in Ora-
          cle Solaris 11.4 Linkers and Libraries Guide. Example mapfiles are
          provided in /usr/lib/ld. See also FILES.
