The config script in openssl-0.9.7a uses the command 'hinv -t cpu' to 
determine which type of CPU is being used.  It expects that the output 
of this command will be only for a single CPU, e.g.:

CPU: MIPS R10000 Processor Chip Revision: 3.4

However, on our particular system, running IRIX 6.5.16f that command 
instead returns a list of *all* CPUs, e.g.:

CPU: MIPS R12000 Processor Chip Revision: 3.5
CPU: MIPS R12000 Processor Chip Revision: 3.5
CPU: MIPS R12000 Processor Chip Revision: 3.5
CPU: MIPS R12000 Processor Chip Revision: 3.5
CPU: MIPS R12000 Processor Chip Revision: 3.5
CPU: MIPS R12000 Processor Chip Revision: 3.5
CPU: MIPS R12000 Processor Chip Revision: 3.5
CPU: MIPS R12000 Processor Chip Revision: 3.5
.....

When that happens the test that determines what type of CPU is being 
used fails and the "wrong" compiler flag is used (i.e. -mips3 instead of 
-mips4).

Not a big deal...
