Compiling Xtrabackup 8.0.28-21 and OpenSSL 3.0.5

I have compiled Xtrabackup 8.0.28-21 from source with OpenSSL 1.1.1p but I have upgraded a system that only uses OpenSSL 3.0.5 [3.x series]. But whenever I try to compile Xtrabackup, it now shows the following message

Make sure you have specified a supported SSL version.
Valid options are :
system (use the OS openssl library),
yes (synonym for system),

Is the latest Xtrabackup not compatible with OpenSSL 3.xx? I also tried compiling with -DWITH_SSL=yes or -DWITH_SSL=/usr and still the same issue.

Did you verify that you have the libssl-dev packages installed?
