This patch raised a comment on Github:
https://github.com/buildroot/buildroot/commit/ebf6f64b76059e31a85f982cb04f80ad5982dac3#commitcomment-25458671.
Apparently, building without OpenSSL is still possible (perhaps has
been fixed in 4.2.8p10 ?), and some users would like ntp without
OpenSSL support.

Adam, could you have a look into this ?

Thanks!

Thomas
