I applied the patch. After rebuilding my system, now the legacy provider 
also works fine for me. graphics/qgis starts again and seems to work as 
expected.

Interestingly, when I start QGIS, I now get the following warnings:

Warning: Incompatible version of OpenSSL (built with OpenSSL 1.x, 
runtime version is >= 3.x)
Warning: QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function d2i_X509
Warning: QSslSocket::connectToHostEncrypted: TLS initialization failed

These warnings disappeared after rebuilding net/qt5-network and 
net/qt5-networkauth :)

Many thanks for the link with the patch!

Best wishes,
