You wouldn't happen to know the patch numbers or any other identifying
marks for the bug(s) triggered by OpenSSL?
Fun supporting legacy customers - well, it's not so much legacy as "we
don't update OS's, ever," as a cultural phenomenon - I have a need for
building the latest OpenSSL on Solaris 8, which means Studio 11, or
perhaps 11.1.
I've had a bloke hammering away at it, but even with all the patches he
can find, it doesn't work. He's been doing fun stuff like taking
various cipher suites out of the build to try and prevent the jump(s)
into oblivion, as well as forcing compiliation to older architectures
(he's quite cleaver, really) but has gotten nowhere.
Any pointers would be gratefully accepted.
Cheers,
