No, they tell gcc to use instructions that generate code for the Sparc V8 chip which is a 32 bit chip. I don't even know if cross compiling from 64 to 32 bit is even supported on the Sparc version of gcc, and if it is if they use the -m32 flag or not for it. On the Intel port of gcc, gcc has to be built to allow for 64 to 32 bit cross compiling, if it is not then -m32 doesen't work on that either. I suggested -mv8 as a cheap hack. Since it didn't work your going to have to research gcc and see first if you can even do a cross compile on the Sparc architecture, (likely you can) and if you can, what flags, and if those flags don't work then your going to have to build your own copy of gcc that has the extra stuff to allow for this to work. (enable multilib?) Lastly, I don't know if freebsd64 for the Sparc will even run freebsd32 for the Sparc binaries. I guess it boils down to muck with the compiler or fix the OpenSSL code. Sorry I don't have any more cheap fixes to try. :-( Ted ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
