 > What do you suggest we do? Use `--prefix=C:\Windows\System32\SSL` on
 Windows builds?

 I tried that, but it fails with:
 {{{
 Directory given with --prefix MUST be absolute
 }}}
 Which is: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/9520

 Anyway I don't think we are affected by CVE-2019-1552 (for the reason
 mentioned in ticket:31383#comment:16).

 And I don't think there is any reason to revert
