Adam Slagell commented on BIT-1506:
-----------------------------------
Agreed, just update the dependencies. People probably won't keep openssl updated well on Mac, but not really our problem. And Mac isn't exactly where it is run in productions
I don't think we want to say 32 or 64-bit. I would instead keep it general and not go into specific version or distributions because we won't be good about maintaining that. Just say FreeBSD, Mac, And Linux (GNU/Linux if you want to make RMS happy :-)
If we provide binaries on Mac still, we might want to statically link openssl.

> It looks like Apple removed the OpenSSL headers with El Capitan[1] (OS X
> 10.11), and now Bro fails to build on OS X. Apple's recommendation is
> that we either include a copy of OpenSSL ourselves or we use their
> Secure Transport API.
