I think, we have already discussed this problem with Michael in 
august 2005:

My letter (08.08.2005), subject "OpenSSL-0.9.8 backward compatibility":
=================================
Hello,

When installing OpenCA (any version) using OpenSSL-0.9.8 
I see that "make test" fails because of the following constants 
being absent from version 0.9.8:

X509V3_F_S2I_S2I_SKEY_ID
X509V3_F_SXNET_ADD_ASC 
X509V3_F_V2I_ACCESS_DESCRIPTION
X509V3_F_V2I_EXT_KU

The above constants were present in versions 0.9.7x.

I failed to understand if these constants are really needed 
for OpenCA. If yes, then it may be a very bad idea to use
them that way: 
  1) OpenSSL maintains backward compatibility
only for features called via "openssl" console. 
  2) Total number of OpenSSL constants and their names 
are not supposed to be steady from version to version.

What do you think, please?
Regards, Julia.

Michael`s answer (09.08.2005):
=================================
Hi Julia,

> X509V3_F_S2I_S2I_SKEY_ID
> X509V3_F_SXNET_ADD_ASC 
> X509V3_F_V2I_ACCESS_DESCRIPTION
> X509V3_F_V2I_EXT_KU

It was the first time I see that at the end of our module is a really
large section of EXPORT stuff. Does anybody know why there is so much
exported stuff? I think we should simply remove all these constants.

Another question, does somebody know why there is a fallback-directory?
I have no idea which component uses the fallback stuff. Perhaps it is
autogenerated and can be removed.

Michael

 =================================



As nobody answered Michael, this question is still not closed.
What about me, I just don`t run 'make test' at all, when I
use openssl-0.9.8. 

Regards, Julia.
