Attempting to clone a Git repository fails with "ERROR: libgit2.so not found" with RHEL9 and OpenSSL 3.0.7


Attempting to clone a Git repository using the git_clone function with OpenSSL 3.0.7 and RHEL 9 fails with the following errors:


ERROR: libgit2.so not found.
ERROR: Unable to load libgit2 module.


This issue occurs because the default libraries that are shipped with SAS® 9.4M8 (TS1M8) were built with Open SSL 1.1.1. 

There is no workaround for this problem.
