Thanks for the response. OpenSSL wasn’t doing The Right Thing, and a variety of other fixes weren’t working either—various certs downloaded offline, etc.

What ended up working was just dumping all the Keychain System Roots certs to a PEM file (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24675167/ca-certificates-mac-os-x <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24675167/ca-certificates-mac-os-x>), which feels a bit hacky but at least works

Thanks for the help again.
