The script itself seems a bit hacky. If you would like to use nginx with openssl 1.1.1,
you should consider switching to e.g. CentOS/RHEL 8 where it's available out of the box.

Alternatively, you can use publicly available packaging sources [1] to do such kind of
modifications - this way you'll be able to add any customizations without using SRPMs
at all.

If none of the above options seem suitable, you can just modify single line of the script
to make it work with 1.19.10 SRPM, but there's no any guarantee it won't break again
in future:

sed -i '/%setup -q/a tar zxf %{SOURCE100}' /home/builder/rpmbuild/SPECS/nginx.spec

should be:

sed -i '/%autosetup -p1/a tar zxf %{SOURCE100}' /home/builder/rpmbuild/SPECS/nginx.spec

A relevant piece was recently changed in our spec [2].

Hope this helps,
