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...
