It _is_ true. The bug has been located and fixed, and we've tested
upgrades from 1.1 and pre-glibc-2.3-current many times.
There're two possible reasons why you might have encountered the same
problem, or what looked like the same problem:
1. You were not upgrading to the latest publicly available Owl-current,
but rather to an older snapshot.
2. You had other (non-Owl) packages installed with dependencies on the
old OpenSSL.

As Steve has correctly suspected, this is the well-known qmail errno
problem on newer glibc. You have to replace the "extern int errno;"
with "#include <errno.h>", then qmail builds.
P.S. This time we were lucky to already know this qmail/glibc bug, so
your report of it was sufficient. But if we didn't, your report
would have been useless. Please learn to include in any bug reports
the exact error messages you receive. Thanks.
