Describe the bug
OpenSSL 1.0.2t has been installed at /usr/local/opt/openssl on the MacOS image. Homebrew is also installed and used for installing software. Hombrew normally creates a symlink at /usr/local/opt/openssl that points to the latest installed version. OpenSSL 1.0.2 is not supported by Homebrew anymore (Homebrew/homebrew-core#46876).

This can cause issues when the compiler or linker are looking in /usr/local/opt/openssl but the user and/or build scripts expect OpenSSL 1.1 headers and libraries to be at that location.

Area for Triage:
