OpenSSL 3 for armv5

[hgy59]

Description

• fix openssl3 for ARMv5_ARCHS and OLD_PPC_ARCHS
• python311: bring back builds for ARMv5_ARCHS (OLD_PPC_ARCHS for python310 only)

python311 and stunnel packages require OpenSSL 3 built with threading (OPENSSL_THREADS).
This can be resolved without the need of libatomic (that is missing for ARMv5_ARCHS and OLD_PPC_ARCHS).
This is achieved by patching openssl configurations to ommit the use of libatomic dependency.

[hgy59]

@th0ma7 while working on an update of stunnel package with update to openssl3, I tried to evaluate the functions imported from libatomic (to probably find a solution by adding the missing functions).

But fortunately the build of cross/openssl3 managed to enable OpenSSL threading despite the lack of libatomic. Then stunnel and python311 could be built for ARMv5 and OLD_PPC.

So I enabled python311 (and cryptography) for those archs.

Probably the build of some cross wheels will fail, but at least we have python311 back.

Is there any user watching with an ARMv5 Model (i.e. DS213air, DS213, DS413j, DS112, DS112+, DS212, DS212+, RS212, RS812, DS212j, DS112j, DS111, DS211, DS211+, DS411slim, DS411, RS411, DS211j, DS411j)?
Any feedback is welcome.

Overall looking good. What I'm afraid of is the maintainability but I'm ok at giving this a shot. I do have an armv5 so i can give it a try later this week.

@th0ma7 I will have to drop python311 for OLD_PPC_ARCHS (missing c++11 compatible compiler), but will bring back python310 for it (just struggled with #6028)

Another issue of OLD_PPC_ARCHS is lacking rust support. This target will be limitted to cryptography 3.3.2.

Can you remember why the installation of maturin into crossenv is skipped for ARMv5 archs?
Since we have Rust for ARMv5, I'm wondering if Maturin doesn't work for it (cross/python31[01]/Makefile).

Is there a python spk that can be triggered as well for armv5? Beat, mercurial or backup options? I could then test it on my old nas.

The following packages are already triggered to build:

• borgbackup
• deluge
• homeassistant
• flexget
• tvheadend

I guess homeassistant will not run on AMRv5 (and would need more than 1h to install). For the others I don't know.

If you need another package, I could build it locally. The github action already runs a long time to complete the build.

EDIT:
oops, didn't look for supported packages: in the list above only thvheadend is built for ARMv5.

@th0ma7 latest build has now the following packages included:

• beets
• borgbackup
• mercurial
• octoprint
• rdiff-backup

@hgy59 so i did not forgot you... it's just sooo painful installing packages on armv5 ... it takes hours and i forget to check where I left it last night type thing.

Just saying, the biggest of all octoprint installed ok which is a heck of a good starting point. I believe it's good to merge and publish. I'll try to install other assuming i don't fall asleep while waiting.
