openssl 1.1.1.c, mailx @12.4 rev6: mailx build error after rev update, possibly due to openssl update

Trying to update mailx form 12.4 rev5 to 12.4 rev6 gives me:

$ sudo port install -vst mailx

Running the build command manually shows:

I've installed mailx 12.4 rev5 only a few hours ago when I still had openssl 1.0.2s installed. While running "port upgrade outdated", openssl was first updated to 1.1.1c and then the attempt updating mailx to 12.4 rev6 failed as above.

Thanks for the report. This is a duplicate of ticket:58990 and I'm working on it.
