Comment (by teor):

 Replying to [comment:4 nickm]:
 > No, it seems to be failing still.  My guess is that the package is
 simply installed wrong, with a header version that doesn't match the
 library version.

 Yes, I think you're right. The last two times we've fixed this issue
 (#32449, #28574) we have toggled installing openssl via pacman. So pacman
 (or the appveyor image) is likely to be the issue.

 Toggling library installs is not really sustainable, so I like your
 solution.

 I opened #33673 to merge the robustness fixes in my first PR.
