The bindist flags in openssl + openssh were for elliptic curve support, as people were concerned about patents. I'm almost certain this affects libressl just the same way, probably just noone ever bothered to care.
The bindist flags should probably be reviewed and likely removed. According to Wikipedia [1] the last possibly relevant ECC patent is valid until 2020. So 2 more days. There shouldn't be any patent concerns about ECC any more. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECC_patents -- Hanno Böck https://hboeck.de/
