So my recollection is that on the install media, openssl has
USE=bindist[0] set, which prevents installation of EC TLS support. I
expect this to be resolved ..hopefully this year. The impact is that
on the installation media, you may not be able to talk to servers that
*only* offer EC-based TLS, as the openssl on the installation media
does not support EC-based TLS.
