This is something that should get fixed in whatever calls
TLSv1_method(). You should never call that function. It's also
been deprecated.

The problem is that TLSv1_method() only supports TLS 1.0, and the
default config now says that TLS 1.2 is the minimum verison. You
should either use SSLv23_method() or TLS_method(), which support all
protocol versions that are enabled.
