Gentoo 0.8.6-r1 and 0.9.3-r1 have the patch to workaround the issue.
LibreSSL isn't reinventing the wheel, but rather repairing a broken wheel. As LibreSSL grows more mature, and since it's a drop-in replacement for OpenSSL, it will with time deprecate OpenSSL and I'm sure the Bitcoin devs are wise enough to make the switch at some point.
Unless LibreSSL is guaranteeing bug-for-bug compatibility with old OpenSSL, it cannot safely be used with Bitcoin.
That means it MUST make sure all bugs in OpenSSL 1.0.1j are still bugs in LibreSSL.
As far as I know, that is not a goal of either OpenSSL nor LibreSSL, and is exactly why the new version of OpenSSL breaks Bitcoin by fixing a bug.
