Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported cargo build failure on macOS Sequoia with Xcode 16 on Intel. Inspect the OpenSSL build path identified in openssl-src-300.3.1+3.3.1/src/lib.rs:621 and determine how the build handles this target; done means cargo build completes successfully on the reported environment.
