But I need to understand first why/how the older SDK is used (no time yet...)

Of course, volunteers and good will are welcome :)

Hi,

This is a known problem on Sierra.

There are two possible workaround:

1) locate the Xcode lib repository and copy /usr/lib/libssl.* there

  The entire procedure is explained in a Readme
  see https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/blob/Cog/build.macos32x86/HowToBuild

2) install older SDK - for example via XcodeLegacy - https://github.com/devernay/xcodelegacy

  The second worked for me, though I don't remember specifying usage of an older SDK anywhere

Git cloned, cd to build.macosxxx/pharo.cog.spur

./mvm -A

Either 32 or 64 bit builds dies trying to build libSqueakSSL with library not found for -lssl.

Homebrew doesn't seem to have an entry for libssl.  Stumped.
