^^^^^^^ Wow! I could never think of anybody would be actually
interested in running it on such old architecture...

Most likely:-)

Why do you think they call it *soft*ware? :-)

^^^ SS2 has v7 CPU and every v8 instruction causes
a trap to kernel which in turn emulates the instruction. You must have
waited forever to get through other tests involving big numbers library.
I mean you might want to get rid of it. But! In either case I don't
believe this is actually what causes the problem in question. Try to
compliment compiler command line with -DB_ENDIAN (i.e. edit Configure
with your favorite text editor and replace -mv8 with -DB_ENDIAN in the
line that starts with sunos-gcc), reconfigure, recompile and tell how
did it go... Alternatively fetch some late snapshot from
ftp://ftp.openssl.org/snapshot/. It has already been fixed (well, not
exactly in sunos-gcc context, but anyway:-).
Andy.
