Comment (by boklm):

 I posted a more simple version of the patch in branch `bug_33535_v2`:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/boklm/tor-browser-
 build.git/commit/?h=bug_33535_v2&id=d1878906cced1672563f5958b13ed1ae9a158471

 Doing it the same way as is already done in an other part of openssl:
 https://git.openssl.org/?p=openssl.git;a=blob;f=util/mkbuildinf.pl;h=1c273872be11c01e881a59a61bb3f0f125679441;hb=HEAD#l15
