Quoting SUPPORT section in README:
"If you have any problems with OpenSSL then please take the following
steps first:
- Download the current snapshot from ftp://ftp.openssl.org/snapshot/
to see if the problem has already been addressed
- Remove ASM versions of libraries
- Remove compiler optimisation flags
"
It's probably appropriate to perform steps in reverse, i.e. start with
removing optimization flags. Well, depending on defaults it might be
appropriate to modify optimization flag to reduce optimization level,
rather than to just remove, i.e. -O1, then -O0. If dropping optimization
level helps, then it's something to discuss with IBM, not OpenSSL...
