'-ssl' is used but '-tls' is list by configure. That problem is persistent though all ebuilds since the ssl USE flag has been added. btw: chroot and OpenSSL do not work in cherokee at the same time... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
The ebuild attached to bug #102470 contains the fix for this. Unfortunately however, the ebuild maintainer chooses to ignore it.
Fixed, just released to mirrors :) PS: sorry for all this time :P
