It appears that's a known issue with building OpenSSL 1.1.1 on Solaris 10. (I think we haven't run into this in my team because we're now on Solaris 11, but I haven't investigated.)

Quanah Gibson-Mount mentioned this in a reply to your first post in this thread:

If you look at that issue, you'll see people have posted workarounds. I believe it's just a matter of linking with an additional library.
