Description:
------------
ext/openssl/config0.m4 contains:

  AC_CHECK_FUNCS([RAND_egd])                                                                                                                                                  
  PHP_SETUP_OPENSSL(OPENSSL_SHARED_LIBADD, [AC_DEFINE(HAVE_OPENSSL_EXT,1,[ ])], [AC_MSG_ERROR([OpenSSL check failed. Please check config.log for more information.])])

meaning that ./configure first checks for RAND_egd and then adds -lcrypto to LDFLAGS.  This cannot work in this order, as RAND_egd can only be detected after -lcrypto is passed to the linker.

The check is certainly useless as-is. I was wondering why it exists at all, as the docs state:

> RAND_egd() is available since OpenSSL 0.9.5.

Turns out the check was added for LibreSSL compatibility: https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/456f4a78d24a929f5b9d1c064cd9c2ee7a8aaf5a

Which also makes me wonder if we shouldn't just drop the RAND_egd() call entirely, it seems like some rather dubious functionality.
