sparc linux configuration

[Ray Miller,,+44 (0)1865 283284,+44 (0)1865 435156]

Hi,

I just (successfully) installed and tested OpenSSL on a sparc running
ultrapenguin. However, my first attempt failed miserably as the config
script gets it wrong:

bash-2.02$ ./config -t
Operating system: sparc64-whatever-linux2
Configuring for linux-elf
/usr/bin/perl ./Configure linux-elf

It wasn't difficult to guess what the Makefile should look like and
after that everything worked as expected. I compiled without any
assembler and with compiler options:
        
 -DTHREADS -D_REENTRANT -DB_ENDIAN -DTERMIO -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -mv8 -Wall

For fun, I hacked the config files from the 0.9.3a distribution. You
might like to include these patches (or an improved version!) for
anyone else who needs them.

Best wishes,

Ray.
