Are you sure this is the 8.2p1 source?  The line numbers from the
error messages don't correspond to those in 8.2p1, but they do match
7.9p1.  For example:

> "libressl-api-compat.c", line 619.26: 1506-043 (S) The operand of the sizeof operator is not valid.

$ head -619 openssh-7.9p1/openbsd-compat/libressl-api-compat.c | tail -1
return calloc(1, sizeof(EVP_MD_CTX));
$ head -619 openssh-8.0p1/openbsd-compat/libressl-api-compat.c | tail -1
#ifndef HAVE_EVP_MD_CTX_NEW
$ head -619 openssh-8.2p1/openbsd-compat/libressl-api-compat.c | tail -1
#ifndef HAVE_EVP_MD_CTX_NEW

I don't have VAC so I can't reproduce this myself.   I have built
8.2p1 with a shared-lib openssl-1.1.1d on AIX with GCC, though.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
