Ok, after verifying what platform I'm actually compiling for, it's
definitely little-endian (Linksys WRT54G running on Broadcom BCM4712).
So what else could be the problem here?

I am not aware of any specific problems of OpenSSL on MIPS platforms.
As long as OpenSSL is configured correctly (big or little endian)
everything should work just out of the box.
As I already wrote: I am not aware of any specific problems in MIPS.
Having this said, your problem report does not really help much in
tracking down the problem. It reads: Hey, it fails, what might be wrong? Without any more details we cannot help you. What exactly happens? Your
application does crash?
When verifying certificates, against which CAs? Is your filesystem
layout containing the CA certificates the same?

Ok, I see this was really not very detailed and not very helpful for finding a solution. So what happens is the following: I have a self-signed certificate used as CA and some certificates signed by this CA. Checking the signature with OpenSSL on the command line verifies the certificates correctly. Now in the software I've build, the certificates get verified agains my CA using X509_verify_cert (which should work quite similar to what OpenSSL does on the command line, I think). Now when I run the program on standard linux desktop machines (tried on debian distros), everything works fine, the certificates get verified just like they should. But when I compile the program for a router and run it there, it also starts, but the verification of the certificates fails. No crashes, no error messages saying something is wrong with OpenSSL, just the failing verification. The router is a Linksys WRT54G running OpenWRT 7.09.

It would be FANTASTIC if anyone could assist here, because I really need this for my bachelor thesis and my deadline is getting closer and closer...

Thanks in advance
Till
