Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v3 0/2] CryptoPkg/OpensslLib: Remove "no-autoalginit" flag from OpenSSL build

["Zurcher, Christopher J" <christopher.j.zurcher@intel.com>]

BZ submitted here:
https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2545

Once this "sort" fix is checked in, I will be submitting patches for EVP implementation as well as x86 and x86_64 native build options (BZ 2507).

Thanks,
Christopher Zurcher
