This is circumstantial. I mean it's not specific to big endian 64-bit platforms. It takes aggressive optimizer and large register bank, large enough to apply those aggressive optimizations. Proper fix is http://cvs.openssl.org/chngview?cn=16407 [and http://cvs.openssl.org/chngview?cn=16408 for 0.9.8].
