Did a test build in chroot. Looked pretty clean but I did not log it.
All tests successful.
Files=361, Tests=4374, 37 wallclock secs ( 5.31 usr 0.42 sys + 339.35 cusr 43.32 csys = 388.40 CPU)
I don't understand cusr or csys. User and system I guess.

I think the problem might rather lie in dependent packages, since there are changes to the API.

I think cusr is total computing time for user, that is sum of user times for each core. And similarly for csys.

It looks like "make test" now automatically uses all cores so we no longer need to set HARNESS_JOBS.

The Python 3 _ssl module fails to build. https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/146217 allows it to build but there's still an unresolved yet runtime issue: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/148292

krb5 needs https://github.com/krb5/krb5/pull/1489 and https://github.com/krb5/krb5/pull/1490. Apply 1490 first, then 1489, to avoid conflict.

sudo needs https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/pull/483 (sed -e 's/\([->.a-zA-Z_]*\)->length/ASN1_STRING_length(\1)/' -i lib/iolog/hostcheck.c).

We probably still need it for timing purposes, but other than mentioning it in the timing, we can probably remove it for the test instruction in the book.

If libssh2 is enabled, several curl tests fail with Failure establishing ssh session: -43, Failed getting banner. I don't know which package to blame. More strangely, if running one of those tests directly with ./runtests.pl in tests/ it passes.

rustc is a little complicated, we need to update (or patch but I don't think patching is easier than updating) the shipped openssl and openssl-sys crates (used by cargo) to support openssl-4.0.0.
curl https://github.com/lfs-book/rust-openssl/archive/v0.10.77+openssl4/rust-openssl-0.10.77+openssl4.tar.gz -LO
cd rustc-1.95.0-src
tar xf ../rust-openssl-0.10.77+openssl4.tar.gz
mv rust-openssl-0.10.77-openssl4 rust-openssl
cat >> src/tools/cargo/Cargo.toml << EOF
[patch.crates-io]
openssl = { path = "../../../rust-openssl/openssl" }
openssl-sys = { path = "../../../rust-openssl/openssl-sys" }
EOF
sed -ri src/tools/cargo/Cargo.lock \
-e '/name = "openssl-sys"/,/^$/{/source|checksum/d;s/0.9.111/0.9.113/}' \
-e '/name = "openssl"/,/^$/{/source|checksum/d;s/0.10.75/0.10.77/}' \
-e '/name = "openssl-macros"/,/^$/{/source|checksum/d}'
I guess cargo-c needs something similar as it ships some code from cargo.

Are opensll* the only crates that needs to be updated? I'm seeing this with curl:

If you've installed curl on the system, rustc shouldn't build it's own copy and then you'll not hit it.
The shipped copy is curl-8.17 and AFAIK the build with openssl-4 is only fixed in curl-8.19.
comment:25 by , 2 weeks ago
I guess the problem is curl-8.19 isn't built with nghttp2 then. We should raise the nghttp2 dependency in curl to recommended...

148292 is superseded by 149102. I gathered it and some commits seemingly depended from main, and 149078 to fix test failure with Linux 7.0 at https://github.com/xry111/cpython/tree/xry111/3.14.4-openssl4-linux7.

cargo-c-0.10.22 has already updated the openssl crate version so it's fine.

Following up real quick, this patch is sufficient for the server side and the tests still fail at the exact same spot as well, so we should be good on this!

MariaDB has runtime failures with OpenSSL-4, in this case these showed during the test suite (though it doesn't show during the build process unfortunately):
The following tests FAILED:
19 - my_tzinfo (Failed)
25 - aes (Failed)
32 - mf_iocache (Failed)
78 - test-connect (Failed)
When reviewing the test suite logs it looks like they fail due to invalid lengths. I looked at upstream and found https://github.com/MariaDB/server/pull/5029 which resolves the problem.
# Major changes between OpenSSL 3.6 and OpenSSL 4.0.0 [14 Apr 2026]
OpenSSL 4.0.0 is a feature release adding significant new functionality to OpenSSL.
This release incorporates the following potentially significant or incompatible changes:
PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMACAPI with FIPS provider.X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICTis set.libcryptono longer cleans up globally allocated data viaatexit().BIO_snprintf()now usessnprintf()provided by libc instead of internal implementation.OPENSSL_cleanup()now runs in a global destructor, or not at all by default.ASN1_STRINGhas been made opaque.constqualifiers for argument and return types, where suitable.X509_cmp_time(),X509_cmp_current_time(), andX509_cmp_timeframe()in favor ofX509_check_certificate_times().no-enginebuild option and theOPENSSL_NO_ENGINEmacro are always present.enable-tls-deprecated-ecconfiguration option.enable-ec_explicit_curvesconfiguration option.c_rehashscript tool. Useopenssl rehashinstead.msie-hackoption from theopenssl cacommand.BIO_f_reliable()implementation without replacement. It was broken since 3.0 release without any complaints.EVP_CIPHER,EVP_MD,EVP_PKEY, andEVP_PKEY_ASN1methods.ERR_get_state(),ERR_remove_state()andERR_remove_thread_state(). TheERR_STATEobject is now always opaque.darwin-i386{,-cc}anddarwin-ppc{,64}{,-cc}targets from Configurations.This release adds the following new features:
