yes, and i e-mailed out this patch twice (with like a week span between) and got no responses ... hence i filed a bug in the hopes it'd get fixed ... i dont like keeping patches to ourselves in Gentoo, if i send them upstream, everyone benefits ... > -BL_ENDIAN?

A. yep, i'll be able to verify this in the next week or so ... i only have 1 big endian arm machine, and it's currently in the 'shop' i'm not so sure about the defines being just for performance options ... i found that openssh failed to work correctly unless the -DL_ENDIAN was changed to -DB_ENDIAN ... but then again, ive never poked around the openssl code so what the hell do i know :) -mike ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [email protected] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
