Even though 0.9.8c is more sensitive to endianness (sha256_block
function accepts additional 'host' flag, which caller can get wrong), it
should have worked as long as -DB_ENDIAN is passed. Later versions work
even without [LB]_ENDIAN. But in either case endianness was always taken
into account and code was actually tested on both big- and little-endian
platforms.

You don't know that till you pass -O0. Please do test.

Does it mean that we agree that it looks more like compiler problem than
problem with OpenSSL source code?

I find it hard to believe that rotation direction is responsible.

SH processors are capable of operating in either endianness. So that
formally you can't say "SH *architecture* is big-endian", you can only
say "this particular SH-based system is big-endian." As far as I
understand endianness is determined by logical level fed to specific CPU
pin at power-up.
