+From af3a3f8205968f9e652efa7adf2a359f4eb9d9cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

+Subject: [PATCH] OPENSSL_SYS_WINDOWS is also enabled for mingw build
+
+the test_n() in bioprinttest.c must differentiate between
+MSVC runtime libc and ming runtime libc. The function
+_set_printf_count_output() must be called when openssl
+is linked with MSVC libc only.
+
+Fixes #28679
