As I replied to Ben, yes, in fact I do have NOMANCOMPRESS set to
true in make.conf.  Obviously this is a problem that needs to be
solved, but it has received no attention, to the point of people
telling me that I'm wrong, and that there is no problem at all.
Ben is the first person kind enough to point out a related PR.

If this is not going to be fixed, it would make sense to document
the option as being broken.  The ideal place for it right now is
/etc/defaults/make.conf.  Just add a warning that says that the
user will need to modify the Makefile in
/usr/src/secure/usr.bin/openssl to ensure that pod2man has an
absolute pathname.

Thoughts?

Do you have NOMANCOMPRESS= true set in /etc/make.conf?
