Description

Nodejs only got openssl 3 support in nodejs 17:

https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v17.0.0/

Right now, in nodejs 16, it'll build and link against openssl 3. However, certain functions aren't available, and this is impacting e.g. webpack, causing it to break. There could be other breakage down in there too.

In the past few days upstream has written a patch to support openssl 3 with nodejs 16:

https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/e903cd19edd27eb6375b4decbcfeff045e5e7df0

However, this patch fixes the problem by requiring a nodejs 16 + openssl 3 user to pass --openssl-legacy-provider to nodejs via cli or envvars, which in practice will break people's stuff until they do that. I think the straightforward fix here is to make nodejs 16 and before explicitly link against openssl 1, and nodejs 17+ explicitly link against openssl 3.
