I have the same issue, and I suspect this is due to having dev-libs/openssl-1.0.2o installed with USE=bindist.

Indeed, rebuilding dev-libs/openssl-1.0.2o without bindist fixed the compilation error for me.

Same here.

Rather obviously, switching to gnutls via the appropriate USE flag for wpa_supplicant also "resolves" the problem.

I've set the openssl dep to require -bindist, not much else I can do here.

I wouldn't recommend that, since (For me at least) there are packages in @system that require "bindist" flag in openssl, which caused problems when I tried to update wpa_supplicant.

I'd say just restore everything to how it was (The requiring of -bindist for openssl) and mask this version of wpa_supplicant. I would then report this bug to wpa_supplicant's devs.

[Comment 6 Rick Farina (Zero_Chaos) 2018-04-27 00:41:55 UTC]

I plan to make bindist optional again in the near future, but that doesn't prevent you from using gnutls right now.  Additionally, it's not really upstream's problem that gentoo yanks ALL ec from openssl even when only some of it is patented.
