Patch for lprng 3.9.0 adapted from Debian patch for 3.8.B
Also works on 3.8.C

https://sources.debian.org/data/main/l/lprng/3.8.B-7/debian/patches/openssl_1.1.patch

This matches the gentoo patch but they didn't patch configure so autogen is run again.

This patch enables automatic detection and compile of ssl 3. Don't know if it works.
