openssl: 1.1.1 fails to build with MUSL libc due to missing linux/mman.h

Building OpenSSL 1.1.1 against MUSL libc fails to find the linux/mman.h header:

$ curl -L https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.1.tar.gz | tar --strip-components=1 -xzf -
$ export CC=musl-gcc
$ ./Configure --prefix=$OPENSSL_DIR linux-x86_64 no-shared no-async no-engine

The same build setup does work with 1.1.0. This is using the musl-tools package on Debian Stretch.

On alpine I do an apk add linux-headers

I found a workaround on ubuntu, without needing to disable secure memory!

I added -static -idirafter /usr/include/ -idirafter /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/ to my musl-gcc command.

For reference, here’s the complete set of steps I used to build openssl against musl in a github actions ubuntu CI runner:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y musl-dev musl-tools linux-headers-$(uname -r)

sudo ln -s /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/asm /usr/include/x86_64-linux-musl/asm && ln -s /usr/include/asm-generic /usr/include/x86_64-linux-musl/asm-generic && ln -s /usr/include/linux /usr/include/x86_64-linux-musl/linux
sudo mkdir /musl
wget https://github.com/openssl/openssl/archive/OpenSSL_1_1_1f.tar.gz
tar zxf OpenSSL_1_1_1f.tar.gz 
cd openssl-OpenSSL_1_1_1f/
CC="musl-gcc -fPIE -pie -static -idirafter /usr/include/ -idirafter /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/" ./Configure no-shared no-async --prefix=/musl --openssldir=/musl/ssl linux-x86_64
make depend
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install

this compiled the openssl libraries and makes all the files available in the /musl directory.

To make user of it as a dependency on another build (ie the rust openssl-sys create), i added the following env vars to that build:

PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_CROSS=1
OPENSSL_STATIC=true
OPENSSL_DIR=/musl

Hope someone else finds this useful

If your build pipeline for Linux runs under the Arch Linux OS, you can install kernel-headers-musl. This works for me, and is better in that we keep the secure memory feature.
