OpenSSL 1.1.1 is pretty old, released in 2018 if I'm not mistaken.

An environment on Ubuntu 24.04 with OpenSSL 1.1.1 libraries is a bit
unusual.  If your goal is to ensure that you can build Python with the
oldest OpenSSL it claims to support, what you're doing makes sense.  But
if you have libssl-dev already installed and your Python build complains
"Python requires a OpenSSL 1.1.1 or newer", then something weird is
going on, and it's probably worth tracking it down.  The best solution
*should* be to install the current libssl-dev package from the package
manager, not to build an old version of OpenSSL from source.

I've built Python-3.12.9 from source on Ubuntu-22.04 with no problems
(I have libssl-dev installed).

To be clear, what is the output of "dpkg -l libssl-dev" on your Ubuntu
24.04 system?  If you get something similar to this:

```
$ dpkg -l libssl-dev
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name             Version        Architecture Description
+++-================-==============-============-================================================
ii  libssl-dev:amd64 3.3.1-2ubuntu2 amd64        Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - development files
```

then I don't understand why you'd get the "Python requires a OpenSSL
1.1.1 or newer" message.
