Subject:   Recompiling openssl library

I need to recompile the openssl library on the latest released version of
FreeBSD with the enable-weak-ssl-cipher option turned on.

I need to do this to connect to a large number of devices with old firmware
in them, and this is on an internal network.

I downloaded the openssl tarball from github, configured it this way, and
did a make, and make test. All went well. However the default location to
install this is /usr/local, so I thought it made more sense to compile the
version in the delivered tree with this option. I went to /usr/src and did a
successful make buildworld.

Now we get to my issue I see 2 places that the installed binaries might be
compile from. These are crypto/openssl or secure/usr.bin/openssl.  Looking
in secure/usr.bin/openssl (post make buildworld) I do not see sources, just
some man pages. Looking in crypto/openssl I do find the sources. So, I
tried to run ./config with that option, and here is the result:

root@noc-server:/usr/src/crypto/openssl # ./config enable-weak-ssl-ciphers

This system (BSD-x86_64) is not supported. See file INSTALL for details.

What am I doing wrong?
