FWIW: I've downloaded and compiled your code, generated certs using your script (which generates a client and server cert with 
the same serial number, BTW) and ran the code: I can connect just fine using either openssl 1.0.1e or 1.1.0e

My bet is that when you run your code you are not loading the right ca.crt file ; another way to debug is , is to add a x509 
verify callback which prints out each cert as it is passed for verification.

HTH,
