undefined symbol: OSSL_provider_init when running "make test" for OpenSSL 3.0

[Petr Gotthard]

IMHO, many providers are dynamically loadable modules, i.e. shared objects (.so). This is in conflict with the "no-shared" flag used.

Hi,
I have been building the 1.1.1 stream of OpenSSL for a while, and am now starting to look at moving to using 3.0.

Building works fine, but testing fails (via "make test").
A number of the tests fail with undefined symbol: OSSL_provider_init:

<snip>
02-test_internal_ctype.t ........... ok
02-test_internal_keymgmt.t ......... ok
02-test_internal_provider.t ........

    not ok 2 - test_loaded_provider

I am using CentOS 7: CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core)
Compiler is gcc: gcc version 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44) (GCC)

This is my Configure line:
./Configure linux-x86_64 no-shared -m64 -fPIC -fvisibility=hidden

This happens with 3.0.0 (2021-Sep-07 12:00:26) and 3.0.1 (2021-Dec-14 16:28:09)

I'd appreciate any help in fixing this.

Thanks in advance.
