the library /lib64/libk5crypto.so.3 is part of `krb5-libs` ; most likely 
you ended up with a Kerberos-enabled build which links to the system 
krb5 libs which in turn link to the system (openssl 1.1.1b) libraries).
Try rebuilding openssl 1.1.1w without support for Kerberos - or , if you 
really need that, rebuild krb5-libs as well and link against your 
version of OpenSSL 1.1.1w.
