 Ah, indeed, I missed that. Sorry.

 I think openssl not using `var/configure_opt` is not a reason for not
 using it in other projects. We are in the same situation on other
 platforms, where we define `var/configure_opt`, and use it in some
 projects, and not in others projects expecting different options like
 openssl.
