Sounds like a compiler bug or a bug in the OpenSSL bignum library triggered on
that platform. Does OpenSSL pass "make test"?

gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: s390x-suse-linux

Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.1.0 (SUSE Linux)


0.9.8.d fails in make test with:

test BN_lshift1
test BN_lshift (fixed)
test BN_lshift
test BN_rshift1
test BN_rshift
test BN_sqr
Square test failed!
make[1]: *** [test_bn] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tjh/work/openssl-0.9.8d/test'
make: *** [tests] Error 2

0.9.8k does not fail in make test.

Haven't looked any further into what specifically is the problem.


Tim.

I kicked off some builds last night as I was curious as to the answer to the question - 0.9.8d fails in make test, 0.9.8k passes in make test.
