[openssl-dev] Merging Gentoo patches on OpenSSL

Hello,

The Gentoo package for OpenSSL currently has a number of patches. The
last OpenSSL 1.0.2a update took a bit longer due to that - patches had
to be adjusted first.

I think most (if not all) of these patches should just be incorporated
into OpenSSL itself, as they're not Gentoo-specific. Minor fixes, built
system improvements etc. Most of them have been submitted to the
openssl rt in the past, but got no reaction so far.

What can we do to work on merging them? Would you prefer git pull
requests?

Some examples:

Let Makefiles respect LDFLAGS:

Fix parallel builds:
https://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2084&user=guest&pass=guest

Build fix of 64 bit on 32 bit systems:
