I did not know that, since I looked at config only, but not at Configure. But still: 
is it assured that every sun4u machine has the 
sparcv8plus instruction set? If not, then the patch is still required as the isalist 
manpage says: "Programs compiled for instruction sets 
that do not appear in the list will most likely experience perfomance degradation or 
not run at all on this machine."

I compiled OpenSSL straightaway for sparv8 since I was scared by the isalist manpage 
(s. above).
