I guess the previous commits mentioning libressl were just getting it
to compile on OpenBSD? Very few BF animals actually run the ssl tests
(which requires setting PG_TEST_EXTRA="ssl"). That said, people are
definitely running PostgreSQL with SSL on OpenBSD in the wild, so it's
at least partially working. I wonder if the problem is something that
needs to be configured in /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf (something like
https://obsd.solutions/en/blog/2020/06/08/libressl-error-due-to-missing-v3_ca-in-extension/
though that doesn't seem to be it).

Anyway, I can also reproduce this problem on my Vagrant image (OpenBSD
6.9 'cause I haven't got around to setting up 7). Just in case it
helps someone who (unlike me) knows enough about libressl to debug
this and knows how to drive vagrant, here's a reproducer:

git clone https://github.com/macdice/postgresql-dev-vagrant.git
cd postgresql-dev-vagarant/openbsd6
vagrant up
... wait for installation and build ...
vagrant ssh
cd postgres/src/test/ssl
gmake check
