Building OpenSSL without submodules

[Mustafa Çevik]

Hello Everyone,

I use OpenSSL's different versions as a submodule on my project. Currently,
I am trying to set up a continuous integration pipeline and I'd like to be
sure that if I clone OpenSSL without its submodules, would this cause a
problem that is not observable in build logs?

I used to clone my project by running following command:

   - git clone --recurse-submodules [my-project-url]


But now I just use:

   - git clone [my-project-url]
   - git submodule init
   - git submodule update


Because the build's successfully completed and the project seems running
without errors, however, I can't rely on my limited tests and I need to be
exactly sure that not cloning OpenSSL submodules will cause disabled
features or a runtime error. Thank you for your time.

Best regards,
Mustafa
