Correct. I only tried it because the 1.0.2t recipe wasn't working.

To be clear - I have /usr/bin/openssl in my image when using 1.0.2p from
the Poky Sumo branch. When I add the 1.0.2t recipe to my own layer, openssl
builds without errors, but I don't get the binary.

I don't have a packages-split. I was unaware of it, and reading the manual,
it seems I should have one. But I don't. Running 'bitbake -e openssl | grep
"PKGDEST="' tells me I should have one, but there are no instances in a
directory called "packages-split" in my tmp dir.

Anyway, I'm giving up for now. I'll come back to another time... or more
likely, get someone smarter than me to sort it out ;-)
