All the versions of the PPC assembler are generated from one perl file.
(ppc.pl)
And yes, that does leave ppc32.s in the comments at the top of the
generated assembler file, and references to 32 bit PowerPC platform, but at
least when I built it here out of openssl-0.9.8e the assembler was 64 bit
AIX ppc assembler.
Look for the line with ".machine" as the first word, that should be
followed by "ppc64"
My build machine is AIX 5.2 with xlc 6., as is V5.2.
No hangs here, and the OpenSSL "make tests" also runs to completion.

All I can suggest is that you check that you have all the current patches
for the C runtime and compiler.

Subject: Re: Openssl AIX-64 bit build hangs
setting OBJECT_MODE=64 did not help.
Here is the part of the output that make displays on the screen.
---------------
making all in crypto/bn...
make[2]: Entering directory

----------------
So, the perl script asm/ppc.pl generates aix_ppc64.s
I opened aix_ppc64.s and the first few lines confused me ... they read:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# File: ppc32.s
#
--------------
Why does the comment say File: ppc32.s, when I am actually opening
aix_ppc64.s ?
On the other hand, a section in the file correctly mentions *.machine
"ppc64"*
So I am not sure if the .s file generated is valid.
Also, running the above gcc command with -v gives me

---------------
The assembler version is 5.1
could someone help me with figuring out whether my compiler / assembler is
missing any patches?
Appriciate any help in this regard.
