Because otherwise the logic has to be replicated in build.sh, which was
the state before. I tried making build_install a general target, but ran
into issues with the compat libraries. I think this is a side effect of
the way the install shlib logic works, since that always appends the
-L=/lib, which leads to the build not picking up the uninstalled version
of libcrypto. As such, your analysis is oversimplifying the issue.
