I see no magic in the OpenSSL here. It looks like the alert is
due to LibreSSL dropped the support for export ciphers, while
nginx calls SSL_CTX_set_tmp_rsa_callback() to be able to support
them if configured to do so. So, the alert is harmless and can be
safely ignored. It's just a result of LibreSSL dropping support
for parts of the OpenSSL API nginx uses.

The only thing we declaring is that nginx can be built with
LibreSSL. And it is going to work as long as LibreSSL does the
right thing and don't deverge from the OpenSSL API too much. We
consider both LibreSSL and BoringSSL to be interesting
experimental libraries, and plan to preserve at least minimal
support as long as it doesn't require too much effort.
