 I confirmed that security/openssl/builtin.mk is not getting included 
 twice.  Besides grep not unearthing any additions includes of this file, 
 using your ".if" trick, I determine that it's getting run once, and the 
 first time it's run, BUILTIN_VERSION.openssl is already defined.
 
 I don't know where else to look to see if this variable is getting 
 defined.  AFAICT, it's limited to the files in security/openssl directory.
