It seems that node-gyp fetch config from the host node process (code). In node 17, the openssl_fips config item has been removed, causing corresponding config missing during gyp execution.
Considering the target node may be built with different configurations (for instance, Electron builds), shouldn't the build config fetched from target node platform instead of host process...?
