OpenSSL 1.1.1b version chooses wrong AS(assembler) on Windows

[Vinay Kumar via openssl-users]

Hi All,

The OpenSSL version 1.1.1b chooses wrong AS(assembler) on running through 
Cygwin in Windows. It chooses 'ml' instead of 'nasm'(but uses the syntax of 
nasm) which causes OpenSSL build failure on Windows. The same works fine with 
OpenSSL 1.1.0i version.
Looks like a bug with 1.1.1b version.
Setting 'AS=nasm' before running the configure script in the Cygwin shell 
resolves the problem.
Can someone please confirm if the above workaround is acceptable and can be 
logged as bug in OpenSSL 1.1.1b version?
Regards,Vinay
