Well, it reverted the workaround?

I agree, especially since openssl takes so long to build. I have a
defconfig at $WORK where openssl is the package taking longest to
build. This defconfig builds both libopenssl and host-libopenssl, and
together they take over 25% of the build time.

OK. I have so far not been able to trigger that here.
