KataGo works with old libssl versions only

As noted in the release notes (https://github.com/lightvector/KataGo/releases/tag/v1.15.0), on linux the versioning of libzip and other libraries makes compatibility very tricky when trying to release raw executables. I recommend you compile from source, it's relatively easy on Linux. https://github.com/lightvector/KataGo/blob/master/Compiling.md

There were some problems with eigen paths (how I remember), until You had released binary version.
Is this a problem to make binaries with statically linked all libraries, which versions are required in form of "=" (not ">=")?

Symbolic link doesn't work:

/home/KataGo/./katago-v1.15.1-eigen-linux-x64/katago: /lib64/libssl.so.1.1: version `OPENSSL_1_1_0' not found (required by /home/KataGo/./katago-v1.15.1-eigen-linux-x64/katago)
/home/KataGo/./katago-v1.15.1-eigen-linux-x64/katago: /lib64/libcrypto.so.1.1: version `OPENSSL_1_1_0' not found (required by /home/KataGo/./katago-v1.15.1-eigen-linux-x64/katago)

Fortunately, I didn't delete the Tumbleweed previous year snapshot ISO image. After adding it in repositories and installing from it the libssl version 1.1 (with the file conflicts with existing newer version) KataGo worked.
But it isn't the true solution of the problem, I think...

KataGo v.1.15.3 - all the same...

Have you tried building from source? It's not that hard on linux, and it means that you get to compile katago using exactly all the versions of libraries on your system.
