You don't. Either you do like we used to do and fix the makefile with
sed (s/^CFLAG = /CFLAG = -sysroot .../) and live with the fact that
openssl likes to compile with -O3 no mather what optimization level
you have selected in BR, or you hardcode the list in openssl.mk (it
probably doesn't change that often).

Ahh ok.

One of the options above (hardcoded list or sed invocation).

Ok.
