Ok, which probably makes sense for a binary distribution.

It is not exactly clear to me where this patch comes from. Googling
around I see a very similar patch on this github repo:

https://github.com/JudgeZarbi/RTMPDump-OpenSSL-1.1

But that repo has an open issue about a crash in the handshake handling
(code that gets changed by this patch) and the README states:

I modified a few of the files in the librtmp directory to conform to the
new getters and setters in OpenSSL 1.1.0. I don't claim to be a security
expert, and neither have I had any experience with OpenSSL in a
programming sense, so I'm not sure exactly if it's correct, but it
compiles and seems to work for what I use it for.

Which does not sound very reassuring to me, so I have instead pushed a
patch to drop the openssl support for rtmpdump.
