Dumb question, but does 'openssl' include the development files as well
then on Arch? (Presumably, since it's worked before for you.)

Is it possible this is related to mitigation for DROWN or another openssl
issue taken within Arch to disable SSLv3? I seem to recall a recent set of
updates causing some unexpected ABI changes (functions disappearing
without any stub replacements) on several distributions.

Can you see if a previous known-working release tarball recompiles
successfully on this system?
