AP> As support for platforms "narrower" than 32-bit is discontinued... Do I face the prospect of not being able to update at all (past some 0.9.9)?!
Once again, platforms *narrower* than 32-bits are discontinued, in other words 16-bit one[s]. Is your platform 16-bit? I find it hard to believe:-)
As the more code in the OpenSSL gets updated - the more I'll disable in ./configure? Quite sad...
Life is not fair, never was, never will be:-)
AP> How wide-spread the target platform? It is QNX4. Not as usual as windoze, but still very popular for robotics...
As far as I understand there is gcc for QNX, so why not use it as "more feature-rich compiler"?
AP> Is SHA512 really required in the context and/or does it really AP> worth it? To ensure the interoperability with modern clients on other platforms (SSH.com, OpenSSH) - yes.
Is there evidence that there will be applications emerging that will refuse to negotiate anything else but SHA-512? I find it hard to believe. I reckon that disabling SHA-512 does not impose risk of reduced interoperability in the time-frame of release-span of any particular platform/compiler. Meanwhile ask your vendor to implement long long support:-) A.
