stunnel4: runtime check on openssl too tight?

[Simon Chopin]

Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/1010698:

Package: stunnel4
Version: 3:5.63-1
Severity: serious
User: <email address hidden>
Usertags: flaky

The debci testsuite failed for all architectures after the recent
openssl upload
   https://ci.debian.net/data/autopkgtest/testing/amd64/s/stunnel4/21436404/log.gz

Am I right to assume as per
| logs/results.log:DEBUG: 2022-05-07 04:07:41,445: [get_version] Trying to obtain the version of /tmp/autopkgtest-lxc.algiqp59/downtmp/build.oOV/src/tests/../src/stunnel

that the error is that it was compiled against one version (1.1.1n)
and then tested against another version (1.1.1o)?
stunnel4 -version reports:
| Compiled with OpenSSL 1.1.1n 15 Mar 2022
| Running with OpenSSL 1.1.1o 3 May 2022

and it is fine, the ABI is stable.
