Please allow building against system ffmpeg on systems free of openssl. Reproducible: Always
I suppose I could drop the [openssl] use flag from the media-video/ffmpeg requirement... would that work for you? Note that ffmpeg doesn't have support for libressl: bug 569818.

media-video/ffmpeg-4.0 (which has libressl support, bug 569818 ) is hard masked so I can't make a media-tv/kodi-17* ebuild that has libressl support (yet). However, I've added this change to media-video/kodi-9999 and I'll be watching bug 653678 so that when media-video/ffmpeg-4.0 is unmasked, I'll be able to update media-tv/kodi-17* with libressl support for it.

Patched ffmpeg stable taken from the libressl overlay works well with libressl. However, the good people of the libressl project only patch ebuilds from the main tree, they don't 'correct' 'bad' ebuild syntax. On a closer look, the problem seems to lie with ffmpeg, not kodi. It's ffmpeg that should have an ssl flag which would then require either openssl or libressl flags to be set. Presently, libressl require openssl which can be confusing at first glance, hence this bug.
media-tv/kodi-18.0_beta5 (and the live media-tv/kodi-9999 version) support libressl fully. media-tv/kodi-17* won't be able to fully support libressl as you'd like as it uses media-video/ffmpeg-3 which doesn't have (and won't be getting) libressl support.
