I'm afraid that is lost in the thin web of history ;-)

I hear ya.

OPT_FLAGS would be for optimizing, do I get that right?  I suggest you
have a look at Configurations/10-main.conf, you might notice
configuration items like debug_cflags, release_cflags, debug_lflags
and release_lflags.  If you have a look at my refactor-build branch,
you will see a fairly thorough Configurations/README.  If you look the
commit titled "Refactor config - move templates docs asm templates to
Configurations", you'll find the documentation that's applicable to
what Configure in the master branch supports...  later editions are
currently only supported in my branch.

vinschen> The attached patchset fixes all of the above.  With this,
vinschen> openssl-1.1.0-pre2 builds fine for Cygwin.

I'll have a closer look at all that tomorrow.

Cheers,
Richard
