This commit - http://repo.or.cz/socat.git/commitdiff/226c555edb82f6901d7d7448d93e6d09b1132c73 introduced `ptrdiff_t` type into `a/nestlex.c` without including `stddef.h`. When compiling with OpenSSL, the type gets defined through some of the OpenSSL includes.

The fix is probably to patch `a/nestlex.c` to include `stddef.h` and push the patch upstream.

I've found out buildroot patched it a month ago:

Fixed in three ebuilds without revision bump.

Thanks for the report.
